The only thing a great horned should be worried about is another great horned. Just checking, are you the falcon wasn't a Merlin? Just seems weird behaviour for a peregrine, in the woods hunting voles? Sounds like more Merlin like to me.

I was wondering if it was a merlin. From certain angles it looked like peregrine

Looked it up definitely a Merlin. Never even heard of Merlin before. Thanks!

Cool, glad that helped identify the #birdstr. Sometimes behaviour and habitat can identify birdsbetter than any plumage details.

Update, after spending way too many hours on bird sites and listening to different calls all the hawks make. I am 95% sure it is a Cooperโ€™s hawk.

Iโ€™m so confused, sorry to bug, but it might be a northern goshawk. If it isnโ€™t very obvious I suck at bird identification. Now not sure if it is a Merlin. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Try to get a pic someday and bring it here! We have a bunch of birders.

We have a bad pic.
