Crow (Corvus corone; Corvus cornix)
Probably related or derived from the verb, meaning "to croak" - likely from. This root is also utilised in other IE branches as a word for crows, ravens, jackdaws, and cranes. Originally, it was probably imitative of the bird calls, the hoarseness of which is a distinct feature of all the previously named groups.

Related to the verb meaning "to shout, cry hoarsely" - the likely root of both is. From this also comes another word for crow (see above) as well as the word for crane.

An extension of the more primary, also meaning "magpie". Also of interest to me is the second part of this compound, which reminds me of a Wadden Sea area word for the common thrush:, which is continued in modern Dutch as.

According to Málið.is, this word is probably not related to the words for "jay", but more likely has something to do with, dialectal Norwegian meaning "a dark streak on an animal", Icelandic  "black and white striped", and Swedish  "having multi-coloured stripes". This would mean it connects to the English words and. Quite believable, considering both the pearlescent plumage of the Eurasian magpie's wings and the dark patches all over its body.

Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis)
Based on the usage of this term in the modern Germanic languages, I strongly suspect that this, the most basic term for "hawk" originally referred to the goshawk and was only later generalised after many of the other designations for different species fell out of use in various languages.

A word with no clear etymology - Old English is the only branch that uses the simplex to refer to birds of prey, however, Dutch, Frisian, and Saxon have similar-looking words meaning "foot" or "leg", especially when referring to birds. These words are used in compounds in Dutch and West Frisian to refer to the buzzard. One wonders whether *putt- originally referred to the feet of the bird, a distinctive feature of raptors, and was only later in the English branch applied to the whole bird. Potentially borrowed from vulgar Latin, though, to me, the t ~ tt ablaut suggests Kluge's Law.

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
Most languages show no sign of there being a primary word for "osprey", with the exception of the Norse branch. This is particularly confusing, given the commonality of ospreys around the North Sea coastline. Most languages make do with compounds translating to "fish-hawk" or "fish-eagle".

Apparently refers to the behaviour of raptors following armies in order to feast on the slain. Related to the verb. Also, to me, it seems strange to think of an osprey feasting on prey inland, as they are primarily fish-eaters and require large bodies of water to survive. Perhaps the original OE gloss meant to purely give an example of a raptor, not to refer specifically to ospreys. However, one wonders, if this was the case, why something like "accipiter" was not chosen to translate instead. Given than Swedish has an almost identical formation, referring to the snowy owl and meaning "hare-catcher", one wonders whether "herefong" was perhaps instead a borrowing. England rarely plays host to snowy owls, so, instead, another large black and white raptor had the name applied to it.

A reference to the diving behaviour of grebes when feeding. In English, this term has been transferred to ducks, but likely originally referred to grebes, as in the rest of Germanic.

Literally means "arse-foot", due to the placement of the legs on grebes being far more posterior than other birds. This seems to be a Low Countries formation.
