Buteo was a male honey buzzard and a friend of Garfo Trok. He had fawn-coloured tail, black and golden eyes and he was very protective of his territory in the northeast stream. If travelers trespassed the territory of Buteo, they had to answer his riddles to continue their journey. The honey buzzard was easily cheated, as he was not a very clever bird.
