I’ve seen confusion before about the word “buzzard.” It’s used in America for vultures, which are quite different from the bird you feature here, which is a type of hawk.
Hi Audrey, yes, indeed, I understand now that Americans refer to vultures as buzzards. Interesting. Here a vulture, a buzzard and a hawk are all different creatures.
Nice poem.

Lovely photos, verse, and bird. It looks more like a hawk. Our buzzards look very different.
