Tracey,
Both resident Peregrines have bees sighted several times within the past week at that site, so your dead raptor was unlikely a Peregrine. Perhaps a RTH.

I have some bad news. Tuesday I left work early for the holiday weekend. I
was traveling west bound on 480 just past the bridge. On the north side of
the road was a large - ish bird that was hit by a car. When passing, I did
not see a belly band but did see it had a raptor's beak. All I saw was a
lot of white feathers. The underside of the wings were white and the belly
was white. I'm not sure, but it might have been our peregrine. Has anyone
seen him since Tuesday? Or does anyone know if this was a different
species.
Sorry for the upsetting news...

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Valley View Peregrine photos
For all of you who've spotted the Valley View bridge peregrine falcons, or
saw something there that might have been a PF, I thought I'd offer a link.
Chad and Chris, a couple of ODNR peregrine nest monitors, have been chasiing
this pair and were finally able to photograph them last week. The pictures
are posted on the Terminal Tower falconcam web site. Here's the URL

There's a whole discussion thread about this pair (the PFs, not the
monitors) on the forum, which can be rather enlightening. The birds are both
banded, but no one has been able to see the numbers yet.
