Looks more like a sharpie or coopers’ hawk than a falcon.
I think it’s a Mexican or Prarie Falcon.
There have been about 7 of them who have cycled through here in the last 6 yrs. They come by our back yard for brunch. They arrive like clockwork right at 9:10am for about 3 weeks, then a week gap then another time, about 12:20 steadily for a week.
Seen a mother and young falcon fly by about 2 ft off the ground, wingtip to wingtip through the canyon and perch here.
Some are better hunters than others.
I’ve been told by a local falconeer that they also see in infrared, so that when they perch, they are looking in the bushes for urine trails of rabbits and other small prey, then launch at anything that moves. They’ll also take out rattlers.
A Golden Eagle lives about a half mile away, but is too cramped to come into this smaller yard.
