This could be a juv, but I really don't know. The two pics are of the same bird. It was calling over its shoulder for another that I could hear, but not see.
Any help here?

cooper's for me too, moulting its tail, thus not rounded looking edges.

Thanks to all!

I'm glad you all agree it's a Cooper's Hawk. That's what I was hoping for. They seem to be kind of rare around here.

Thanks again for the quick replies!
