NO! Not a Cooper's Hawk. So much better.

The beautiful bird in the below post is not a Cooper's Hawk. It is a Peregrine Falcon! Here is the text of an email sent to me from Ray Brown, host of the weekly radio show, Ray Brown's Talkin Birds: Hi Tom, Thanks so much for sending that fine photo. I wonder, though, if you're sure about the ID--I'm thinking it's maybe an adult Peregrine Falcon (the head color, the color around the eye, the bill color, and the grey/black streaking on the lower breast and belly suggest that to me. Take a look at a photo of a Peregrine and see if you agree). Meanwhile, please send us your mailing address and we'll get a pound of Dean's Beans Birdwatcher's Blend coffee sent out to you. Thanks again, Tom, and best wishes, Ray
