Woundknee said it was a Swainson hawk, and it does look like one.

TX, That looks like a Peregrin Falcon to me, but I have not seen one up close. We have falcons around here. Do a Google search on PF images. I have always been curious what part of the state you are in. I am pretty sure it is south Texas. I used to live near Choke CanyonLake at Three Rivers.

Bob I googled P Falcon, I think it looks like the Swainson hawk due to the brown patch of feathers on its chest.

Re: Is this a falcon ?
Yep you got it...Swaison's hawk...the have a dark bib that goes on thier neck/chest...almost like an executioner's hood. They vary sometimes in color phase and sometimes you can't see the "hood" but in these pics it's very prominent.
