Where can I go to find out the type of bird that I took a picture of? It belongs in the preditor family.?

Question

It was a young bird that had flown into our sliding glass door. Reddish brown with black markings cream colored chest. I am thinking maybe a Peregrine falcon. I would like to email the picture to someone for verification but don't know where to send it. Any help would be awsome. Thank you.

Post the photo here and I can try and ID it for you.  You can also check out this site and search different birds of prey:

It would also help to know what state you live in.
