	Rough-legged Buzzard
		It flies slowly, sits for a long time on the bough of a tree watching for mice, frogs, &c., and is often seen skimming over swampy pieces of ground, and hunting for its prey by the subdued daylight, which illuminates even the midnight hours in the high parallels of latitude."
		Wings long, third quill longest, fourth almost equal, second shorter than fifth, first very short; first four abruptly cut out towards the end on the inner web; secondaries broad and rounded.
		Whenever an opportunity offers, they eat to excess, and, like the Turkey Buzzards and Carrion Crows, disgorge their food, to enable them to fly off.

	Buzzard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The honey-buzzards, genus Pernis, superficially resemble Buteo buzzards, hence the name, but are specialist feeders on wasp nests and larvae.
		In the Old World, members of this genus are named as "buzzards", but "hawk" is more common in North America.
		A buzzard is a type of bird of prey, in any of several different but related senses:

	WINGMASTERS Featured Article
		No, this stork was named “buzzard” after the vultures that could be seen in the area, because like the vultures the wood stork is a high and frequent soarer and its long-beaked head does have a certain vulturine quality.
		Nor is the word “buzzard” used in the book’s descriptions of the turkey vulture and the black vulture, even though many people refer to both species as buzzards.
		A “buzzard” was a wide-winged raptor, of the sort we would now call a buteo.

	[SABN] Possible Long-legged Buzzard at Suikerbosrand NR
		Based on the behaviour, long wings, perch position, head colour and tail, I think this is a Long-legged Buzzard, but would like to hear the comments from the experts.
		Hi All A "different" buzzard, resembling a Long-legged, was spotted by a group of Birdlife Free State members at Suikerbosrand NR yesterday.
		The underwing pattern in flight resembled exactly the picture of the intermediate form of Long-legged Buzzard in the Kemps's raptor guide, with the trailing edges still black, but not as dark as the wing tips and leading edges.

	Rare Birds in Spain: Identification
		In conclusion: The most important and distinctive characters of this juvenile African Long-legged Buzzard Buteo rufinus cirtensis were the uniform, unstreaked head, the heavy bill and the typical underwing coverts with uniformly pale coloured and finely marked lesser, median and greater coverts contrasting with round and dark carpal patch.
		Roughly the size of a Common/Steppe Buzzard Buteo buteo, thus considerably smaller than nominate rufinus, perhaps with longer legs than in Steppe Buzzard B.b.
		Also the wear of the plumage indicated an earlier breeding cycle than in Steppe Buzzard Buteo buteo vulpinus.

	Ornitholidays Kazakhstan birding report 2004
		Apparently in east Kazakhstan Upland hybridises with Long-legged Buzzard, and this bird was not correct on one particular feature; the tarsi feathering was too short.
		It wasn't long before we had tracked down the songster, a White-throated Robin (sometimes called by its other name, Irania) was singing away atop one of the rock pinnacles.
		We left to continue the long journey but along the track another necessary stop for a flock of about fourteen, what at first looked like clean and tidy Feral Pigeons.

	Sandgrouse - Crested Honey Buzzards in Iran
		The other was larger, closer in size to Long-legged Buzzard, with broader wings, on which six ‘fingers’ were visible, and had two broad bars on the tail, the second partially concealed behind the feet.
		It lacked a very dark carpal patch, which was evident on the adjacent Honey Buzzard and Long-legged Buzzards.
		These features indicated that it was probably a Crested Honey Buzzard Pernis ptilorhynchus and, in retrospect, it is possible that the other individual may have been a juvenile or female Crested Honey Buzzard, which have very similar plumages.

		After a rest in the cool of the chapel we watched Short-toed Eagle, Honey and Long-legged Buzzard, Red-rumped Swallows, Blue Rock Thrush and Little Owl.

	Monty Python - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As long as there is Terry Jones, there will be, in some way, a Monty Python.
		The 2003 "autobiography" The Pythons, compiled from a series of interviews with the surviving Pythons, reveals that a series of disputes in 1990 over a Monty Python and the Holy Grail sequel conceived by Idle may have resulted in the group's permanent fission.
		It is this same good natured enthusiasm that has led to his unflagging loyalty to the preservation of the group.

	WORLDTWITCH - Xinjiang Autonomous Region, China, Birding Trip Report, June 1998, by Mike Kilburn
		The Nightingales were in a class of their own - attenuated brown birds with a long rufous tail, they completely defied my mental image of them (although recent discussions suggest they may be a good split candidate).
		It was forty miles across by at least a hundred long, with snow-capped mountains delineating its boundaries on both sides.
		The underparts were a pale shade of the same hue, with a buffy suffusion on the breast, demarcating a whiter throat.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Animals in the Bible
		The buzzard, three species of which exist in Palestine, has always been common there.
		The variety of animals spoken of in the Bible is remarkable; the ostrich, for instance, a denizen of the torrid regions, and the camel, of the waterless districts around Palestine, are mentioned side by side with the roebuck and deer of the woody summits of Lebanon.
		A closer examination of the way in which references to animals are introduced, the frequency of allusions to certain species, and the date of the documents in which they are found, may give a fair idea of the conditions of the country at the different stages of its history.

		Regarding the area of Lotan, the mainstreams of Honey Buzzards are possibly composed of birds that pass north well west of the Eilat Mountains and slowly drift east towards Lotan.

		Examples include the 5th May when only 200 Honey Buzzards were seen in the Eilat, but over 700 were observed at Lotan.

		However, the most spectacular birds in these long green grassland habitat are the significant population of Aquatic Warblers, more than 500 singing males have been counted there.

		Rough-legged Buzzards are slightly bigger than Common Buzzards with longer, floppier wings and, usually, paler underparts.
		Numbers vary enormously from year to year but if there are plenty of lemmings, then places such as Karigasniemi in Finland and Abisko in Sweden can support dozens of Rough-legs.
		Numbers vary from year to year, from almost none in a poor year and up to 250 in exceptional ones.
