The power lines of Georgia Power run right by my house. In the spring you can stand out under the towers and look up and down the right of way and see one Redtail after another as far as you can see. It looks like they claim an area and establish a boundary between them by mutual agreement and hunt that one segment of a miles-long cleared right of way under the power lines.
The local population around here is really on the rise.
I've seen them come in low for prey. That sometimes gets them in vehicle traffic. I wish there was a way to prevent that. Beautiful birds.
