Is there a group in Oklahoma City that rescues displaced birds of prey?
There's a falcon that has been hanging around my workplace. Falcons are not native to Oklahoma, so I'm not sure where he came from. This is also in the city, a fairly high traffic area. I think he keeps coming back to the courtyard because it's safer than the surrounding areas and there's a convenient food source. (He's been eating the sparrows)

Oklahoma has several spices of falcons, American Kestrel, Merlin, Prairie more rare the Peregrine and thoe it does not normally range that far north about once every 15 years some one will spot a Crested Caracara in south Oklahoma
In your case however it may be a lost Falconry bird
Call your local wild life office and check for a wild life RAPTOR rehabilitater in your area
I know there is one not far from you who is also a falconer and a member of Oklahoma Falconers Assn.
He would know if some one has lost a falconry bird recently and if not can evaluate any threat to the bird so he can decide if it should be relocated

here is an Oklahoma based rehab group but don't be surprised if they do nothing- several species of hawk/falcon ARE native to Oklahoma and such "rare" species as peregrines HAVE been known to nest in the city....

Leave this raptor alone he/she knows what he/she is doing and staying there of it's own choice. Eating the sparrows is doing everyone a favor too!
