Reading, UK - just feeding my addiction to photoing Buzzards and Kites.

Awesome photo. Though, I was thrown off by the picture. In the US we often refer to vultures as buzzards and we would likely refer to this as a hawk. I’m not sure how we messed that one up.
Where I grew up had a ton of Red-tailed Hawks and the occasional Swallow-tailed Kites. I always love seeing and hearing them around.
I think it fairly obvious that the first European settlers in North America were far from Ornithologists :)
As you’ve most likely already seen to find those links, Red-tailed hawks and (what I think of as) a Buzzard share a genus Buteo.
