OT - Buzzards

I believe that the officially endorsed common name is "turkey
vulture" -- "buzzard" is, or at least used to be, frowned upon.
But these things do change.

What we have here are not vultures, though they are usually so named by
folks. They're buzzards. And in my part of New Jersey there are two
species, the typical red-headed turkey buzzard and the (usually
described as a more Southern species) the black-headed buzzard.
