Mike,
You may be right, we had two peregrines fly by at eye level and were given
great looks, this bird came through later and we were only able to get a quick
pic before it disappeared behind some trees. It could have circled around in
the area a few times. Thanks

Just looking at my phone, at a glance quite Mississippi Kite like. But, the
outer primary is the same length, not noticeably shorter like a kite. My
impression is a Peregrine.

Subject: [TN-Bird] Possible Mississippi Kite
While coming home from a birding trip in Coastal Alabama, we stopped by
Craven House in Chattanooga, TN on 10-04-2015 we had around 100 Broad-wings
in a few kettles, a couple of peregrines, and 2 Bald Eagles fly over along
with this bird. Image was taken by Don Carrier, we believe its a Mississippi
Kite. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks PS these are the only two
images…. http://www.msandersphotography.com/kite
