Hawks in East Pasadena

Early Sunday morning I caught these two hawks perched on top of the power pole in front of our house. It is not uncommon to see hawks soaring high in the air. But, I rarely see them this close.

Later in the day the two hawks perched in our Jacaranda tree.

I’ve hunted over the web and can’t definitively identify what type of hawk this is. Apparently Red Tailed hawks are the most common types of hawks. I didn’t see a red tail here, but strangely enough red tailed hawks don’t always have visibly red tails. Anyone know what kind of hawk this is?
Update — These are Cooper’s Hawks.
