My guy was soaring but had the pointy wings.  All alone high in the =
sky--no telling size or distance.  I think it was a pterodactyl.
Thanks for your help.

  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.=20

  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.

  Jane
