Default Hawk Help

The hawk flew down in front of my at the boat yard and nailed this dove. I spooked him and he flew up on the boat but did go back to tearing the dove to pieces. Is it a Paragrin Falcon??

I've seen several of those around East Pensacaola Heights lately and was also wondering what kind of hawk or falcon they might be.

Looks like a sparrow hawk. They will kill a dove in a heartbeat.
