I too enjoyed a long window session with a Cooper's Hawk this morning. My young bird (a male, I guessed) was definitely hungry, though, and made numerous attempts at feeder birds, who only retreated to the underbranches of the spruce tree behind the feeder. It almost seemed that they could tell this was an inexperienced hunter. Eventually he left, still hungry.
