Buzzard??

Yesterday, this fine specimen of a buzzard was just sitting in a tree outside our back door. He/She sat there over an hour. I thought maybe it was injured, but after a while...he just flew away. I didn't catch the flight on camera, wish I had!!
I was a bit worried, and kept one good I one him, because a bird this size can surely SCOOP up a kitten and fly away...thank God, I'm not missing anyone! QUITE A BEAUTY, eh?
