<p>This bird showed up on the website NextDoor. A bunch of people were saying it's a Cooper's Hawk. To me it's clearly a Peregrine Falcon. My reasoning is:</p> <ul> <li>there are Peregrines around here all the time (Los Angeles)</li> <li>the eyes are not red</li> <li>the Cooper's Hawk has a darker head in maturity</li> </ul> <p>Other opinions welcome please.</p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/O5RF1l.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/O5RF1l.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TPJNb.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TPJNb.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
