Abstract:
Of all birds of ill omen, the belled buzzard is among the most terrifying to the people of North Carolina, for he signifies the presence of death and corruption. Belled buzzards have been reported in Clay, Davidson, Granville, and Beaufort counties. Most sightings report death to some victim, not caused by the buzzard but by the hand of other men. West presents several stories surrounding the belled buzzard.
