Is my Sonnet in Iambic Pentameter?
A hawk am I, fierce beak, claws sharp as knives,
I swoop, wings beating air, and snatch up fish
From water, eating fast, a sharp, quick dive
Will get me all the food for which I wish.
My wings spread far, and make a shadow down there,
On fields of wheat and forests green with life
And rivers winding through the land, so fair,
A mouse I spy scurrying without strife.
I pounce upon the rodent small and white,
It does not see my form as I draw near,
Between my claws and then without a fight,
The creature is now paralyzed with fear.
Wings, please take me as high as clouds in day,
And stars in night, the world will have its way.

That is how it reads to me. The good news is that you have a number of iambic lines. Remember pentameter referes to 5 feet or 10 beats S2L1 has 11 beats.

No, luv.
Iambic Pentameter is when it follows a certain beat, usually on the second syllable, and every other syllable after that.
Much of Shakespeare’s writing was in Iambic Pentameter.
Think of this:

Short answer: yes. It is.
However, you’ve tried so hard to focus on the meter that a lot of your phrasing is really weird ("and make a shadow down there" is really awkward), a lot of your lines contain unnecessary filler words (all the food for which I wish), and the poem generally doesn’t seem to mean anything (especially the final couplet).
One criticism of the meter is you use a lot of pyrrhics and spondees. Try to use them as little as possible, as they make the meter sound really weird except in rare cases when you’re using them to make a point.
My scansion:
iamb iamb spondee spondee iamb
iamb spondee iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb iamb iamb spondee
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb iamb iamb anapest
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb trochee pyrrhic spondee (in the end, if your feet aren’t mostly iambs and anapests, the line isn’t iambic)
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
iamb pyrrhic spondee iamb iamb
trochee trochee iamb iamb iamb
iamb iamb iamb iamb iamb
