The eastern buzzard or Japanese buzzard (Buteo japonicus) is a medium to large bird of prey that is sometimes considered a subspecies of the widespread common buzzard (Buteo buteo). Some scientists treated is as a distinct species starting in 2008, but others still treat it as either one or three subspecies. It is native to Mongolia, China , Japan and some offshore islands. At least some birds winter in Southeast Asia. It is similar to the steppe buzzard. It is carnivorous.[3]
It includes four subspecies:
- B. j. burmanicus: breeds in Siberia, Mongolia, northern China, and North Korea, winters in Southeast Asia
- B. j. japonicus: breeds only in Japan, winters from southern Japan to southeastern China and Taiwan
- B. j. toyoshimai: Izu Islands and Bonin Islands
- B. j. oshiroi: Daito Islands
