I'm guessing this guy is young because it was not very big. Unfortunately he feeds at our bird feeder, at least today he didn't get one of our desired birds. I shot this through the kitchen window with a Nikon D5100 and 600mm lens on automatic. I have messed with settings and such but just shoot for fun and usually shoot on auto.

Nice shots. I prefer to see them eating mice, though. Let me re-word that. I prefer that they kill mice, rather than birds. : )

Nice shots. Coopers Hawk, I think!
I agree, they're very nice shots. Another option might be a juvenile Sharp-shinned hawk. The juveniles are very hard to tell apart, but among the several differences, the sharp-shinned has white eyebrows while the Cooper's usually don't.
