Buzzards (not as in, The Old Buzzard)

Buzzards? In a blog that covers a listing of "B"s, from bamboo through Bible, biodiversity, books, Broadman Hymnal, Bruce, and business, how did Buteo buteo earn a line on this list? Beauty or biodiversity, they could get in by either of these doors. Close up, they are the ugliest, most repulsive, abhorrent, obscene, and detestable of birds. In flight they are living beauty, grace in motion, a wonder to watch as they ride the air currents, the highs and the lows, majesty gently floating without apparent support as they survey their vast domain. The essence of graceful motion, they are despicably offensive when seen closeup, sharing stinking their feast with the entire family. They are on the list because they frequently bring majestic, awesome, and almost reverent serenity to my soul. Biodiversity and the Bible are part of the rest of this vulture story. Buteo has a peculiar and essential niche in the biosphere. Somewhat surprisingly, in the Bible, God is found to speak of the buzzard. However, the rest of this story must be told on a later occasion.
