Looks like he's watching something in that last picture.

Do you or a next door neighbor have a bird feeder?

I have a juvenile Cooper's that runs all the birds away from my feeders every now and then.

Yes, he was indeed watching a few mourning doves at a tray feeder. They soon scattered, and the Cooper's took off in the opposite direction.
These shots were from the only sighting I've had of him close enough to capture. I was sooo excited and so afraid he'd fly off that I didn't take time to adjust settings or set up the shots. When I opened my backdoor and saw him on the fence line, I grabbed my camera and just began firing :-)
Maybe a newbie mistake, but sometimes you do what you gotta do!
