Talk:Sea eagle

Does this include all birds in this genus? White-bellied Sea Eagle is in the same genus but isn't listed here. --Singkong2005 03:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

It's there, just above Sanford's... Circeus 16:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Would you please supply a pronunciation guide for "Haliaeetus"? - 70.23.215.96 (talk) 18:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

What about the erne? - 1000Faces (talk) 08:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Should sea eagle be hyphenated or not? Shythylacine (talk) 11:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Why is there a pic of a bald eagle? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.131.215 (talk) 03:07, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Because it's a type of sea eagle. - Burner89751654 (talk) 21:25, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Ichthyophaga which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 12:16, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

That discussion is now closed, and the other page was moved. - Burner89751654 (talk) 21:25, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

This article says the Genus Icthyophaga and the Genus Haliaeetus are both part of the subfamily Haliaeetinae, which is part of the family Accipitridae. But the articles for Icthyophaga and Haliaeetus both say they're part of the Subfamily Buteoninae instead. And none of the articles for Icthyophaga, Haliaeetus, Accipitridae, or Buteoninae make any reference to Haliaeetinae, and the article for Haliaeetinae doesn't make any reference to Buteoninae. I'm not an expert, but I suspect this is outdated. - Burner89751654 (talk) 21:27, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

I think we need to have a discussion on which authority to follow, though I suspect Haliaeetinae might be downranked to a tribe (Haliaeetini) or even a subtribe (Haliaeetina) due to only encompassing two genera. I'm not a birder though. Anthropophoca (talk) 02:21, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

This article definitely needs a revamp for sure. While the IOC does not go into specifics of ranking systematics below the familial-level, most researchers seem to treat this as a tribe of Buteoninae. Phylogenetic evidence also support this notion, though admittedly at a more basal position in among the buteonines, the sea-eagles. Piranga94 (talk) 03:04, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
