Plural of buzzard; large birds of prey (raptors) that soar high in the sky and eat dead animals and small creatures.
From Old French 'busart', possibly derived from Latin 'buteo' meaning 'a type of hawk'. The word entered English through Norman French.
Buzzards are nature's cleanup crew—they can spot a dead animal from thousands of feet in the air by circling in thermals (invisible columns of hot air)—and they have such powerful stomach acid they can digest bones and fur!
