I'm thinking a Peregrine Falcon. Hard to see though
@Tom might be able to tell.

@Tom will know for sure, but looks like the Cooper’s hawks which scatter remains of mourning doves in my backyard every now and again…
Here are the two. I think it's a Peregrine

Predatory bird for sure.
Its a Cooper's hawk.
Thanks Tom
I was thinking hawk too just because. There's one in my neighborhood. The body shape is similar. Mine isn't as good at hunting though maybe. So far I've only seen misses. But s/he must be catching something. Of course I had to read up on hawks and found out they have at least a 2 mile radius. They're also the only one in that territory usually. So I've seen mine many times dive bombing a bush and what have you 4 or 5 city blocks away. Cool.
