Observation details
The bird was perched on a pole when I first saw it.. When a Red tailed hawk flew by it immediately started squawking and chasing the hawk. It started to attack the hawk as it flew higher and higher. It continued to dive bomb the hawk making contact on several occasions. Quite the show. One very brave falcon. It returned to its perch after the Hawk flew away. I suspect a nest may be nearby.
