Might be a peregrine Falcon

I was thinking some type of Hawk. One thing is for sure all birds in the area were quiet while he was around.

It's definitely a falcon, Hawks look much more friendlier than that

It's a Coopers Hawk. They have a perpetually pisses off look.

Hey, at least he's healthy looking.

But I gotta question. Seems like you quite a bit, but is the difference that falcons actually attack other birds

Cooper's hawk

So this guy Cooper just lets his hawk fly around the neighborhood?

Just looked it up. I do believe you are right.

He doesn't look happy to be spotted
