Description

Classification: Genus Hawks (Buteo); Subfamily Buteoninae (Buteoninae); Family Accipitridae (Accipitridae)
General: The augur buzzard (Buteo augur) is a fairly large African bird of prey. The taxonomy on this species is not settled, with some taxonomists considering this species, the jackal buzzard, and the Archer's buzzard to be the same superspecies. Other taxonomists consider them all to be distinct, having different calls and variations in plumage.^{[citation needed]} This is a species of mountains (most typically at about 2,000 m (6,600 ft) altitude, but up to 5,000 m (16,000 ft)), and adjacent savannah and grassland. It is resident and non-migratory throughout its range. It is normally found from Ethiopia to southern Angola and central Namibia. [more]
