Original source (English)
To dream that you hear a buzzard talking, foretells that some old scandal will arise and work you injury by your connection with it.
To see one sitting on a railroad, denotes some accident or loss is about to descend upon you. To see them fly away as you approach, foretells that you will be able to smooth over some scandalous disagreement among your friends, or even appertaining to yourself.
To see buzzards in a dream, portends generally salacious gossip or that unusual scandal will disturb you.
