We had a birthday party for some relatives and a cute couple of uninvited visitors came by. Last two nights some less welcome visitors came by.

Rare bird of prey? Does anybody recognize the species? Gyrfalcon?

For your bathing bird clip I am only seeing three distinct bands on the tail feathers. Hard to discern any mustache presence. A gyrfalcon with have many more thinner bands on the tail feathers. Gotta go with a Cooper’s Hawk for this sighting. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Gyrfalcon/id

You will see gyrfalcons in wide open spaces like tundra and alpine areas. They are after ptarmigan and small mammals. The Cooper’s hawk is much lighter than a gyrfalcon (1.2 lbs vs 3.2 lbs). The Cooper’s hawk can hunt for birds in the forested areas. While pursuing a bird it can drop its long tail like a drag-racer drops a parachute to slow down. The smaller bird is more agile and the heavier weight for a hunter means momentum wants it to keep going forward. A gyrfalcon is just too heavy to pursue birds in a forested setting. It can’t slow down fast enough. A goshawk is a good second guess. Can’t appreciate a white stripe over the eye and the video shows a bird with a long tail like a Cooper’s hawk.
