That top picture looks like the goose is being attacked by something else. ;)
I don't think that is a Peregrine, it appears to be a buteo, probably a Rough-legged Hawk, but I'm not sure.
Ok, I wasn't actually sure of the species since it is still in its 1st colors. The wings and tail look too big for a peregrine however the head looks very much like a Peregrine. What made me assume its identity was that it was within half a mile of a known Peregrine nest and headed that way.
You know I just went back and looked at it again in original size, and I think your right. The head certainly could be a hawk. I stand corrected. Thank-you.
