Hi Jane

Falcons have long, pointy wings and fly fast, flapping their wings non-stop. 
Merlins look small, maybe a bit bigger than blue jays while Peregrines are 
bigger than crows.   It helps when crows are around to compare sizes. Hope 
it helps.

I saw a distinctive bird silhouette yesterday as we were driving east on 
route 7.  It seems pretty close to the pictures here, which is a peregrine. 
But this is highly unlikely, no?  Could it have been a merlin?  I noticed 
the sharp, hard-edged and angled wing shape.
