Pandionidae

Pandion is a genus belonging to the family Pandionidae, which comprises fish-eating birds of prey commonly known as ospreys. Traditionally, most taxonomic classifications identify this genus as containing a single living species, which is widely distributed around the globe near aquatic environments. However, some taxonomists differentiate this genus into two species, recognizing the eastern osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) as a distinct species found in Australia and Southeast Asia.
