It's #BuzzardDay! Begun in 1957, every year the Cleveland Metroparks Official Buzzard Spotter welcomes these migratory birds back to their roost in Hinckley, OH: wkyc.com/article/news/local/me
BTW, in the USA "buzzard" is a colloquial term for the Turkey Vulture, not closely related to birds commonly called "buzzards" outside the Americas. But feel free to celebrate them all today! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzzard
