Buzzard's Day-- Celebrating the bird whose circling overhead signaled to cowboys of old a creature had met its demise. Turkey buzzards' heads are featherless and red, resembling wild turkeys. They have very good eyesight and soar through the sky on big updrafts. Considered Mother Nature's garbage collectors, they are also called carrion crows, scavengers who live on dead animals.
Read: The Life of Buzzards
-- The accounts describe the life history and ecology of Buzzards mainly inhabiting the British uplands where historically they have always been most numerous. For the first time, population activities are followed through successive seasonal stages of their life cycle. These include the vital and inter-related aspects of Buzzard territories and social behaviour, diets and hunting methods, food requirements, prey abundance and breeding success, survival and life spans and how Buzzard numbers and distribution have changed, particularly in relation to the influence of Man. The book also demonstrates how well Buzzards have adapted to living in our modern and rapidly-changing landscapes, constantly adapting their habits in response to prey resources and environmental conditions.
