Those photos are pretty blurry. Maybe swampsniper would like a free roundtrip photo-shoot?

I saw this one in the morning in front of the house. He was eating a possum which had been run over that night.

I am almost positive that is a
Prairie Falcon, but could POSSIBLY be a
Peregrin Falcon and they both would not hesitate to take a squirrel. Not a common sight so you are very lucky to see this, as are WE now.
When you see feathered legs like that and not bare legs, it's most often a FALCON!

Immature red-tailed hawk. They don’t pose any threat to your property, and they will prey on squirrels. Since you already have a nesting population, not much more you can do except protect them from your neighbors.
Red-Tailed Hawks are a main-stay in American falconry, the species are incredible survivors...

Perhaps it is a juvenile red-tailed hawk. Here is one from West Texas:

Sounds like this bird (if it is a Swainson’s) will not stick around. Check and see if barn owls live in your area. If so, you might build a barn owl box (find instructions online, we did!) and install it in your back yard or wherever. We used to have an awful problem with gophers. The barn owl box that we built stayed empty for five years, but in year six, they moved in, raised chicks, and cleaned out the gophers in a summer! LOL! It was amazing. The owls moved on but we subsequently ended up with a feral cat (neutered & shots, but she was wild at first) who has kept the population down since then. Barn owls are awesome! (They are a little noisy at night, lots of hissing and squawks, but settle down about an hour after dark.)
BTW, if you do build a barn owl box, check the recommended dimensions of the door and stick with those dimensions. Great horned owls EAT barn owls. The door is sized small, to let barn owls in, but keep the great horned owls out, away from the chicks.
