Found this guy "hiding" down in a ditch along side a country road (ironically named Falcon Rd). This was just before a combine came along and he flew off. I managed to get about 8-10 feet away before the combine showed up.
I figured he was protecting his kill, otherwise he'd have been gone before I got within a country mile. Very incremental movements as I approached ... about 35 minutes elapsed time between first sighted and this last shot. He was watching me, watching him ... slow step (zig-zagish, never directly toward), stop, wait, watch his eyes, watching mine to see how much of a threat I was. Repeat. I had just started trying to circle around more when the combine came along, so this is the front most angle I managed.
BTW, just for perspective ... notice the blue bug on the blade of grass in the LRC.
