Hm. 1 damage for 2 mana in green. Not as hard as blue, but still tricky. OK, lets fall back on "target creature with flying". It could just be a sorcery, but that's not as interesting, so lets play with fight. I think a fight creature acting mostly as a burn spell would normally be red, so why is a 1/1 fight creature green here? Because target creature with flying.
Originally I was just going to rely that the creature would always die, so it didn't matter if it had flying itself or not, but that didn't quite work, so I changed it to "leashed" falcon, implying both "trained to fight on command" and "can't fly high", and gave it low flying.
It's a bit wordy, but I think just about fits as a green uncommon or rare?
Yeah, seems like a fine uncommon to me. Rare would get you 1/1 for
or 2/2 for 
(well, maybe 
).
Come to think of it, how come Mogg Fanatic doesn't fly? Is there a flying Mogg Fanatic?
I felt giving green a 2/2 for 2 with flying and direct damage was a bit much, but I suppose not for rare :)
Well, I'm thinking of Skylasher.
