Small falcon maybe

Sparrow Hawk perhaps? They look like miniature Peregrine Falcons.

He looks Hungary, that's for sure.
Really nice picture.

Sharp-Shinned Hawks are also very "falcon like", but the lack of color and detail in the pic makes it hard to determine what it is.

This is a Sparrow Hawk.

A Sharp-Shinned Hawk is also a bit larger than a Sparrow Hawk.

I have been bow hunting this fall and I see them flying fast really a treat how they maneuver thru the trees. Mother nature at her best.

Bow hunting Hawks ?

I'd bet it's a Sharp-Shinned Hawk. That's how they hunt. Sparrow Hawks tend to hunt more open ground.
I've had Sharp-Shinned Hawks hunting and landing in trees nearby while I was in my tree-stands. One kept coming back, and it even chirped at me a few times, like he was talking to me. It was really neat!

I was out in one of my stands it was so silent no littlebirds no deer and just a couple of squirrels . No yellow jackets kinda nice . Even 12 ft up they have been buzzing me . Nasty little wasps. No wind just silence.

Odin, I don't think that's what he meant. Hawks are a protected species down here (Ga.) Federal law? Not sure but probably.

Deer is my quarry not falcons or hawks.

Beware...hungry Blue Jay stalking Honey Badgers.

Was not deer hunting but Saw a small bird fast flight . I would assume birds and squirrels are there quarry .
