Observation details

The White-tailed kite flew over to a big willow tree in which a Red-Tailed Hawk was perched. The White-tailed KIte (who hunts in this grassland daily), flew at the Red-tailed Hawk as if it were going to attack it. Not sure the two made contact or not. The Red-tailed Hawk left its perch and flew towards Folsom Lake and the Kite kept following the Red-tailed Hawk as it flew, almost herding it away from the area the Kite likes to hunt.
