Pandion haliaetus
Predominantly white body with brown wings on top and mottled brown and white undersides.
Large hawk that lives mostly on fish and is often seen nesting near fresh water sources like rivers and wetlands.
This one was sitting on a branch on a bush with half a fish under its left talon that it was obviously eating a fresh catch

Thanks again Ashley!
I think your fingers got a little ahead of themselves when you were typing the common name :) Nice shots with the fish too!
