Besides, buzzard is the name for a Eurasian hawk, a bit smaller than a red-tailed hawk. Vultures are NOT "buzzards"...

Buzzard is a colloquial term and is not very rigidly defined. It includes pretty much any vulture (as well as hawks) as it is commonly used in America.

I won't even ask how it kills a calf!

If they can get to a newborn before the mother recovers, they will begin feeding on the calf starting with the eyes and going in at the rear end. They may not kill it outright, but there's not much else to do with a calf that's gotten this treatment but put it down.

like i said, down here in texas, everything's different. especially compared to washington state. we have rattlers, bull snakes (my cousin stepped on one when he was picking blackberries for my grandma and she heard a scream and like 5 seconds later he was about 100yds from where it was), cows, horses, you name it. the buzzards will take down calfs. a sheep would be like taking candy from a baby. also, as john said, hawks can take them down, but we're not referring to hawks. we're talking about god's trashcans.
