Young eagles resemble vultures/buzzards. There are no buzzards indigenous to the United States, only vultures. This is a common misconception.

"Buzzard" has been common slang for 150 years.

In the south, we refer to turkey vultures as turkey buzzards.
They aren't buteo-butoes, but that's what we call them.
Did you find any thermals, yet?
