Osprey: Heb. 'ozniyyah, an unclean bird according to the Mosaic law
(Leviticus 11:13; Deuteronomy 14:12) the fish-eating eagle (Pandion haliaetus); one
of the lesser eagles. But the Hebrew word may be taken to denote the
short-toed eagle (Circaetus gallicus of Southern Europe), one of the
most abundant of the eagle tribe found in Palestine.
