Buzzard Sets field on fire

[Bronwyn]

A buzzard’s attempted landing on a 7th District area power line led to its death this week, according to firefighters, who report that the burning bird started a fire when it fell to the ground.

The buzzard’s contact with a utility pole by the power lines caused it to ground itself, electrocuting the bird

Man, I was hoping a new species of fire-breathing buzzard had been found!

I see that. I hadn't noticed that story anywhere. Just thought I'd share.

That is quite a story! Thanks for sharing, I had not heard about it.
