Buzzards or vultures clean up the dead. Hawks and owls hunt. The only way I can tell the difference between a flying hawk and a flying vulture (or buzzard) is that we have red tailed hawks here. They are white underneath so easy to spot. Also..they are loners. As mentioned above, the dark birds flying in circles (and most of the time with a flying posse) are the vultures.
