It is actually a young Cooper's Hawk. It is a common mistake to make to confuse these two birds. Both of their diets consist of other birds. However, it is highly unusual to see a peregrine falcon in your backyard. Cooper's Hawks like to hang around places where birds congregate. In this case the spot where the sparrows roost. It's an easy meal. You can also tell this is a Cooper's Hawk because of the light sreak marks on the breast and the pale yellow eye. This is not a peregrine falcon.
