 * the eagle.
   In Hebrew, {nesher,} Chaldee, {neshar,} Syriac, {neshro,} and
   Arabic, {nishr,} the eagle, one of the largest, strongest,
   swiftest, fiercest, and most rapacious of the feathered race.
   His eye is large, dark, and piercing; his beak powerful and
   hooked; his legs strong and feathered; his feet yellow and
   armed with four very long and terrific claws; his wings very
   large and powerful; his body compact and robust; his bones
   hard; his flesh firm; his feathers coarse; his attitude
   fierce and erect; his motions lively; his flight extremely
   rapid and towering; and his cry the terror of every wing.

   the ossifrage.
   {Peres,} from {paras} to break, probably the species of eagle
   anciently called {ossifraga} or bone-breaker, (from {os,} a
   bone, and {frango,} to break,) because it not only strips off
   the flesh, but breaks the bone, in order to extract the
   marrow.

   the ospray.
   Hebrew {┌niyah,} Arabic {azan,} and Chaldee {azyah,} (from
   {azaz,} to be strong,) a species of eagle, probably the black
   eagle, so remarkable for its strength.
