Buzzards,
nasty birds,
carrion eaters.

Pet peeve of mine when vultures are misnamed “buzzards”, a species of predatory hawk.

Turkey vultures are themselves a species of condor, and quite useful for eating up the roadkill. Their wingspan at about five feet does not match their California cousin’s nine-foot wingspan.
