Common Buzzard of Europe

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

B. vulgaris is twenty-two inches long, the head is large and the body heavy. Above, the color is chocolate-brown; grayish-white beneath. Its flight is low, and much of its time is spent in sitting on trees, in wooded districts, awaiting its prey, which consists of small quadrupeds, birds, reptiles, insects, and earthworms.” &mdash Goodrich, 1859
