Saw three in the old fruit tree orchard around 12:30 p.m. Two appeared to be together staying in proximity and seemed to be engaged in hunting. One flew from a tree to the grass as if chasing prey. The second came out over the grass and hovered. The third was about 40 yards west of the orchard and flew towards three fruit trees a couple of times. Eventually it flew off heading south. I did not wait to see whether it might have returned later.
