Eastern buzzard seeking its prey

Eastern buzzards (raptors from the Accipitridae family; hawks belong to this group) migrate as winter birds to farmlands and urban areas in southern Wakayama Prefecture. They chiefly prey on rats that eat crops, and are therefore dubbed “guardian angels of the farmlands.”
