The folks over in Britland use the term "buzzard" as a general term for hawks and eagles. In the USA, we only use "buzzard" to refer to vultures.
There's a lot of inconsistent use

True buzzards are in the hawk family and are found over on that side of the pond. In the USA and the Americas, we have turkey vultures, black vultures, and two species of condors...none of which are buzzards...nor should they be called such.

Apropos of nothing I was just, quite coincidentally, reading why Leighton Buzzard is called that (on one of those wikipedia rabbit-hole dives, I think it started with looking up something about the Great Train Robbery, that occurred near that town). Sadly it seems it has nothing to do with the birds "Buzzard was added by the Dean of Lincoln in the 12th century from the term Beau-desert".
