Thanks all for your answers and also to RCF for showing the pictures. I didn't know how to post them.

--- Quote ---Dupre 501 On Global news yesterday they showed a bird that was dive bombing the crowd at the Bomber game on Thursday. This bird looks like a peregrine to me. He/she remained at the stadium for the whole game and is pictured very close to people in the stands. Can you look at the pictures and let me know if it was one of our peregrines.
. You can see the pictures if you go the Global Winnipeg. com and then to the weather for August 17. The weather girl invites people to send in their pictures which are shown at the end of her weather spiel. So you will have to listen to a few minutes of old weather till the pictures are shown. Also behavior seems a little odd since since peregrines aren't crazy about people. thanks

WOW! Quite amazing to see a wild bird perched so close to people. And these are some good shots.
As Dennis pointed out, the darkness of the mylar bar is missing on the cheek. But now we can see the similarity in overall colouring that a merlin has with the peregrine. It could be very easy to miss identify the bird if there were only a brief glimpse.
