Short-tailed hawk
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
.
