Sorry, I hadn't got that far at the time..... I read it a bit later.
Also found this.... Buzzard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
-snip-
A buzzard is a type of large bird, in any of several different but related senses:
In the Old World:
* A medium-sized wide-ranging raptor with a robust body and broad wings.
* A raptor of the genus Buteo. In the Old World, members of this genus are named as "buzzards", but "hawk" is more common in North America.
* Any raptor which happens to have the word buzzard as part of its name.
In the New World:
* A synonym for vultures, particularly the American Black Vulture and Turkey Vulture, or as a general term for vultures and condors.
* In parts of the United States where they are considered pest, particularly in rural areas, a derogatory term for certain birds of prey, such as the Chickenhawk (a common colloquial name referring to both the Red-tailed Hawk and the Cooper's Hawk), or the Duck hawk (known elsewhere as the Peregrine Falcon). In the US, the term "buzzard" is never used to refer to birds of prey, like hawks, eagles, falcons, and owls, outside of this context.
* Rarely, a derogatory term for any large bird that happens to be a scavenger, such as a raven or albatross (in other words, any large bird that is neither predatory nor flightless).
One will note that the Old World and New World uses are almost antonyms.
