Two birds flying away from the camera. I'm not farmiliar with bird species in your part of the country but I don't think they are raptors of any kind.
If the pic was from my area I would guess a pair of mourning doves.

Not doves, wrong tail feathers and foot color.
Mourning anyway.

I am going to bookmark that. It is a perfect example of how video doesn't always tell the whole story because of the hardware and software attributes of the equipment.

I’m late on this one but, yeah, unmistakably Western kingbirds. Dunno how much was pointed out already but in addition to the yellow underparts and dark tail, the white outer tail feathers are diagnostic.

A great shot too 😎 Western kingbirds are one of those birds that sort of grow on you the more you see em. They fly with such a subtle grace, and are often about the only bird to watch out there on the utility wires in the intense sun. Desert birds, they have moved into the hot dry centers of towns and cities in a big way, ain’t hardly a traffic light intersection or big parking lot in San Antonio that doesn’t have a pair, often they nest on top of transformers on utility poles.

Sad thing is one brood and they’re out. Get here mid April, back to Southern Mexico and Central America by mid August.
