Buteo (buteonine hawks and buzzards)

Synonyms: Asturina; Asturisca; Rhypornis; Rypornis

Wikipedia Abstract

Buteo is a genus of medium to fairly large, wide-ranging raptors with a robust body and broad wings. In the Old World, members of this genus are called "buzzards", but "hawk" is used in North America (Etymology: Buteo is the Latin name of the common buzzard). As both terms are ambiguous, buteo is sometimes used instead, for example, by the Peregrine Fund.
