I always thought that vultures and buzzards were the same things, but after looking it up, a buzzard is more related to a hawk. They eat live prey, and their heads are feathered.

Vultures, on the other hand, primarily eat carrion and have a bald head. And they're not that cute.

And you just taught me something Ibis. Thanks for that. Most people I know, including myself & my dh use the word buzzard & vulture interchangeably for our VULTURES. I will not make that mistake again.

I was wondering why that buzzards head was so prettily feathered.

Mika, thanks for the recommendation. I think Ireland would be on my hit list first and I'd have to win the lottery to even go there.

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
