Description

Classification: Genus Hawks (Buteo); Subfamily Buteoninae (Buteoninae); Family Accipitridae (Accipitridae)
General:The short-tailed hawk (Buteo brachyurus) is an American bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes the eagles and Old World vultures. As a member of the genus Buteo, it is not a true hawk and thus also referred to as a "buteo" or (outside North America) "buzzard". The white-throated hawk (B. albigula) is a close relative and was formerly included in the species B. brachyurus. [more]
