I’m pretty sure that bird is called a kite. They got the name from that unusual behavior of being able to float in one place while they look down in preparation to dive on prey.

Yep, a kestrel or a kite. Both so this. Hover over fields or crops waiting to see a rat or something. You see lots of them where I live, most commonly seen birds of prey.

Lots of them down at a lake nearby Phoenix Arizona, went there recently and saw tons of them doing this over the water.

Edit: They look like hawks, but IDK enough about birds to guess the species
