What a beautiful little falcon!! I'm sorry to say it's NOT a Peregrine, but a female American Kestrel! These little birds are the smallest of the falcons in North America. Great spotting!! I'd love you to add this spotting (and any others that apply) to the mission Raptors of North America: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...
