This guy was on the Dyke Road to the Rotary Trail this morning and we think he's a Peregrine? Is this a possibility?

Sure looks like it to me! That thick black wedge going below the eye is the identifier. One of the more experienced birders can confirm.

Cool pictures!

Given the angle and the exposed fieldmarks, Wetlander pointed out the key fieldmark!

There are some pictures and description of falcons on the website that might be helpful. It is a species account for Prairie Falcon but the other falcon species are mentioned.
