Title: Peregrine?
Post by: BetCrooks on April 20, 2017, 02:29:47 PM
A week ago I was at a park in Oakville, and away across the creek, I saw what I assumed was a Red Tailed Hawk perched on a dead tree. I took a couple of quick shots with a 600mm to remind myself to add it to my ebird list later.

Today, looking at those fuzzy photos, I think it might have been a Peregrine.
Any opinions? It would be the first report for Lions Valley Park in many years so I'd prefer to have a second opinion. (I assume it was migrating through.)

Yes it does look like  Peregrine Falcon.
