Well, actually it does resemble Buteo buteo - but we're not in Europe anymore, Toto - alas.

OK, I get it.  "European Buzzards" are Hawks and not Buzzards.

my apologies.  Now I wonder if it was a red hawk or a euro buzzard on vacation?

I always honk at those when I see them perched on a road sign, most of the time they flip me the human :boozing:

I remember doing a job in an apartment overlooking Central Park and we would occasionally see a Red Tail hawk taking out pigeons in mid-flight.

Alas, it's getting harder for euro buzzards to travel to the US these days, with all the paranoia about immigration.
