I've seen something similar here, not sure if it's as big as a red tail, and it's really hard to judge sometimes because there is many species in and around our 98 something acres, that has a lot of overgrown areas,lots of rabbits, field mice and voles, + all the birds, lot of food for these hawks.
The ones I have seen, do hover in the wind and flap, they also dive bomb. They literally stop at nothing to get prey, and I mean absolutely nothing, I've seen them go straight into dense shrubs next to the house and rustle around in there, come out and buzz your head. They fly into the large pine trees at the neighbors, they dart in and out of the young woods that have taken over around the yard, sometimes one will be perched right in a tree outside the door, never know what you'll get. I've seen doves fly into the window after a miss, I've seen them rob young from nests and grab starlings feeding in the grass, fascinating, and theres a whole line up of these some as small as pigeon. Some have bright yellow legs/talons, fun to watch while deer hunting.
I found the runt of a small group of young pigeon hawks and raised it, we had it him the family room in a large custom built cage for many years, the butcher across the road was a good source of food, one smart bird, never could fly that well for some reason, mean at first, but was very friendly later, was a good experience growing up, often thought about falconry, my cousin does it near palm springs CA. Was not legal, but at least he had a home.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
