Pandion haliaetus
Their habitat includes almost any expanse of shallow, fish-filled water, including rivers, lakes, reservoirs, lagoons, swamps, and marshes. They use open, usually elevated nest sites free from predatory mammals.
Lots of them nesting in the area. Here is one who had caught a young barracuda. There was another nearby with the back half of a Mahi-mahi. The one in flight likely not the same bird.
