NOT a peregrine. Sorry. Peregrines are NOT that color and they are MUCH bigger.
It's a sharp-shinned hawk.
They hunt small birds with excellence and adore backyard bird feeders as it's like a McDonald's drive through window to them. They are VERY good at taking down birds as large as mourning doves. Because of the high speeds they fly and fighter-jet type turns they make, they are prone to hitting windows and such because they don't always see them being too focused on their prey and fail at crash control measures.
