Best Answer

Buzzards and vultures are different types of birds.

Buzzards are actually Birds of Prey, with several species as part of the genus Buteo, along with several species of hawks. The term "buzzard", however, is sometimes applied to other birds of prey in other taxonomic categories. It is also used to refer to vultures in North America, and sometimes in reference to "pest" hawks such as Cooper's Hawk.

Vultures are scavenging birds, and feed primarily on already-dead animals. They are primarily divided into Old World Vultures (family Accipitridae) and New World Vultures (family Cathartidae).

There do not appear to be any buzzard species in Haiti. They are more commonly found in Europe and Asia.

The turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) is found in Haiti, and is the only vulture species there.
