Easton's Bible Dictionary

Osprey:

Heb. 'ozniyyah, an unclean bird according to the Mosaic law (Lev 11:13; Deu 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.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Osprey:

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