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.
The Hebrew word occurs in ( Leviticus 11:13 ) and Deuteronomy 14:12 so the name of some unclean bird. Its probably either the osprey (Pandion haliaetus ) or the white-tailed eagle (Haliaetus albicella ).
