I’ve just seen a lesser kestrel (Falco 😢) , do you have them where you are? I am on the south French coast where this small falcon is very scarce. Apart from your American Falcon we have all the other raptors you mention but with the Merlin only in Winter.
great video. the one day i go for a walk in the woods without my bins and I see what I believe to be a merlin. it was sitting on top of a bare tree. took off with a very strong and direct flight.
I hope to make an advanced falcon ID video at some point. Pigeons and doves would be comparison species to include in that video. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a pair of Merlins that just took over a nest in my front spruce tree. They are very aggressive fliers and very noisy. Amazing to watch.
Kestrel ( Chicken Hawk!)
No not really. A. They are not a hawk and B. Baby chickens maybe but never full grown hens😊

Good helpful video. Merlins also have a distinct eyebrow which the other two lack.
This is so helpful thank you!
Peregrines are very strong birds
