They do the same in the cities of Mexico and South America, where both species are also found.
As soon as our young hunters had got opposite the cliff where the vultures were, they reined up, determined to remain awhile, and watch the manoeuvres of the birds.

They were curious to see how the latter would conduct themselves with a prey so singularly situated, as was the carcass of the cimmaron.

They did not dismount, but sat in their saddles, about an hundred yards from the cliff.

The vultures, of course, did not regard their presence; but continued to alight, both upon the escarpment of the precipice and upon the loose rocks at its foot, as if no one was near.
"How very like the buzzards are to hen turkeys!" remarked Francois.
"Yes," rejoined Lucien, "that is the reason why they are called `turkey-buzzards.'" Francois' observation was a very natural one.

There are no two birds, not absolutely of the same species, that are more like each other than a turkey-buzzard and a small-sized turkey-hen--that is, the common domestic turkey of the black variety, which, like the buzzard, is usually of a brownish colour.
