My new best frien...er, Falcon
He sits on a limb about 4' outside my window. I think it's a Peregrine but I'm not positive.

I think your right,, Peregrine.
The Kestrel has a brown jacket.
And it's a young one.
It hasn't developed the black mask & hat..
Do you have breading Peregrines in the area?
Or maybe a migrating bird, headed South for the Winter?
Very graceful & beautiful birds.
They pass by our rock when migrating.

Nice shot. Looks more like an immature Sharpie to me as it is missing the characteristic side-burns of the Peregrine.

I always thought Peregrines were taller, with smaller hands, smell like cabbage? Or am I thinking of the rare and elusive Peregrino??

"The Look"
Ok folks, if you want to know what "The Look" is take another look at the Hawk.
He's giving "The Look" of "If you stick your finger out the window I'm going to rip it clear off up to the shoulder."

Peregrine Falcon, look at this photo his eyes are black, you cannot mistake the "hood" and the lines on his chest flow in a horizontal pattern:
