A female hawk is a hen, the male is a tiercel and the young is called eyas. A group of hawks is referred to as aerie, cast or kettle.

There aren’t really special names, or terms, for male and female hawks—just male and female! In falconry, though, male falcons are sometimes called “tiercels. ” There is no term for female falcons.
“Hawk” is an unofficial term for birds of prey that are loosely grouped together because of similar characteristics. Officially they are all from the Accipitridae family, which includes both hawks and eagles. Some of the birds that people consider to be in the hawk group include kites, buzzards, harriers, goshawks, and sparrowhawks.

I agree with all he said^ well' cept for one part. While most people 'consider' a sparrowhawk to be in the hawk family ..in actuality theyre not. They are the smallest bird of prey in the falcon class.

tiercel, i belive it's meaning is due to the male being a third smaller than the female.
sparrowhawks = kestrel, the smallest of the falcons.
