Hi Kim

No positive, but a female Kestrel {Falco sparverius}

American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) is a small falcon. This bird was formerly known in North America as the Sparrow Hawk. This name was misleading because it implied a connection with the Eurasian Sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus, which is unrelated - the latter is a accipiter hawk rather than a falcon.

its an american kestral, slightly different colours than here in the UK, but looking at the size its definatly a female. www.raptorexperience.net
