It's a job to be precise about the size from the pics, but I think it is a he, a male Coopers Hawk in his first moult. He was a year old when you took the photos.

We have a variety of raptors. Some big red tails flying overhead. I found this one eating along the driveway and it flew up onto my hood for a better look. We also have sharp shins although you usually only see the clump of feathers after they pick a bird off the feeder.
Fantastic thread. And, I too have learned about eleventy more things that I didn't know. One of which is that 'artificial insemination' of "feathered friends" is an actual thing.
But yeah, raptors are cool, and is another thing that I've always dreamt that I'll do in my next life. The rich one.
Hunt, that is. Unlike others here who have a 'feather boa' collection, I have no interest in 'doing' a raptor. HA.

Every turkey sold for eating is a product of artificial insemination. It's impossible for them to reproduce by themselves
The lake nearby again - not yet out of the nest and hunting; there are 2 of them there, one with their back towards us -
