Sea hawks exist!
Mind you, there are no such thing as one word "seahawks" like the Seattle NFL representative call themselves. But if you're less of a nitpicking stickler than that, you will be happy to hear that a sea hawk is a colloquial name for an osprey, which, last time I checked, exists.
Of course, sea hawks don't seem all that intimidating unless you're a fish. So in the "Real Life Mascots Actually Battling To The Death" competition, I'm gonna go with a big, strapping steel worker. Osprey ain't got a chance against one of those. I'm thinking John Henry here, people.
Or, alternately, the heavy metal band.

The SH-60 Seahawk helicopter (a marinized version of the US Army's Blackhawk), through the SH-60B and -60R and HH-60 variants, has become the standard Navy helicopter for antisubmarine and antisurface warfare, search and rescue, and special operations.
You may have seen the -60J Jayhawk in Coast Guard colors during the Katrina evacuations.
Not incidentally, the flight test and interface design on the various Navy and special ops versions of the hawks paid for my college.
John Henry was not a steel worker - he was a steel drivin' man. I direct you to his imaginary tombstone, which clearly says, "Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man, Lord, Lord. Yonder lies a steel-drivin' man."
Best 8.5 minute Johnny Cash song ever. (Harry Belafonte's version is also great.)

"Yonder"? It says "yonder" on his tombstone?
That is some half-assed tombstone placement, or epitaphery.
