bird ID request
   I saw this raptor above a cliff by the Pacific ocean.  It was engaged in what seemed like unusually prolonged kiting activity.  There was another nearby and I'm wondering if they were courting.  I'd like an ID and, if possible, gender of the bird.
   Thanks so much.

I would say it is a Red-tailed hawk.
