Spaw, I am glad you have yore race cars and yore Weimerwhatchacallit dawgs to entertain you 'cause it's plain as hell that birds ain't really yore thang. What Liz saw was a real buzzard. Buzzards are "old-world" birds. They live in Europe and Africa and Asia. What we have over here in the Americas, and what visits Hinckley, are vultures. They are incorrectly called buzzards by about half-a-zillion people, but that doesn't make 'em buzzards. They're still vultures.

Do a Google image search for "buzzard" and look at all the different kinds. They don't look a damned bit like a turkey vulture.
