They live in a line of very high trees that were planted as a windbreak many years ago.
The sunlight made photography a bit difficult but suffice it to say that I never give up, willingly that is:)
A high spot is ideal to get them and I had to stop the car and jump out to get the one in the first picture coming over at speed. Unfortunately this spot is not close to us as I would have loved to spend more time here in order to really get to know the habits of the buzzards. But of course I am thankful to at least get them on camera.
So come and see.
The Jackal Buzzard, (Buteo rufofuscus) is a predator that hunts small mammals and reptiles and my hope is to catch this flyer with a snake in it's claws. Maybe one day.
There were three of the buzzards patrolling the area from up high in the sky and the photos were taken on my camera's super zoom. It has a range of 21-1365.
So wonderful to see how they use the air currents in flight as they rarely flap their wings. You have to agree that their wingspan and width are ideal to act like sails and they simply control the heights of flight with the tips of their wings, while they use their tails like the rudder of a ship to change direction.
Whenever they want to speed like the one in the first photo, they select a strong wind current and simple tuck their wings in. Always great to see how the birds use the sources of nature to aid them in their quests.
I love the buzzards and in the 4 years that we live down here, we had some interesting occasions with them that I have posted before in here.
Such is the buzzard life.
I hope that you liked the photos and the story.
And That's All Friends.
