A raptor of the genus Buteo . In the Old World , members of this genus are named as "buzzards", but "hawk" is more common in North America .
Any raptor which happens to have the word buzzard as part of its name. In the past, the term was often loosely used in North America as a synonym for vulture , particularly the American Black Vulture and Turkey Vulture . This usage is no longer common.
