4 -5 of these awesome falcons are scratching at the window at my place. Wife managed to get a decent pic with her phone.

awesome looking bird.

i've had hawks prech on my silo now and then, looking for a meal in the corn field below.

Badass! I used to see kestrels hovering in the fields on my way home from work when I lived out in California. They're awesome birds, and I've never seen one that close.

Cool looking bird!

We have Red Tail Hawks here aplenty - very impressive birds.

Great looking bird and really cool that you were able to get an up-close shot.
