A bird lady at work would always correct people when they called a North American bird a buzzard.
I can hear her saying “they’re vultures not buzzards”
Buzzards aren’t native to No.Amer.
Kind of like swallows:
What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
Bridgekeeper: Huh? I... I don’t know that.
Sir Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows?
King Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you’re a king, you know.

Junipers aren't cedars either, but we still call them "red cedars." They'll always be turkey buzzards (and black buzzards) to me. And I'm always thrilled to see one alit.
