I have two cats, one male and one female. They had one litter

avoided her, and then seemed to turn feral, only showing up now and

behavior caused by the spaying of the female?

It's caused by the fact that you spayed her WITHOUT neutering him.
He's off looking for intact females. In the process, he'll fight with
other intact toms. He'll get injured, he'll be exposed to diseases,
he's at greater risk of getting hit by cars and trucks. You need to
find him, bring him home, and get him neutered NOW. You're only
endangering him and other cats, and adding to the population of
homeless, unwanted kittens who'll live miserable lives as ferals, or
be euthanized in shelters because there are no homes for them.

Find him and get him neutered.
