In pursuit of love

I just witnessed what might be a lover’s battle. There were three red tails circling after each other over the back yard---it appeared that two were in pursuit of the one. I could not get a clear idea of sizes.

After about three passes close to the house they went out of sight behind the barn. I will refrain from any statement that could be considered as misogynistic----so---may they all have a nice day!

So, we're talking red-tailed hawks? According to my readings, the female birds are substantially larger than the male ones, And, the mating season could mean they're competing.
