Bird of prey

Tucson, AZ

I was hoping that this was an owl when I 1st saw it, but alas, it is not. I think it may be a young Cooper's Hawk, but it is much larger than the Cooper's hawk that was on the telephone line below it, Sqwaking up a storm at this one, I am thinking. This telephone pole is just outside my backyard, and just before sunset heard the Cooper Hawk squawking, they make a distinctive sound that reminds me of the velociraptors in Jurassic Park.From what I could see, I was thinking it was trying to scare the Owl off, but when I got my camera I saw it was not an owl.
