I realize they nest and roost in trees, but every time I've seen one it's on the ground, usually with a lizard or small snake in its mouth. So this was a rare sight for me. This guy was at the Austin Wildlife Basin Preserve.

Easier to spot snakes and lizards from that viewpoint, Greg!

Nice find. I've seen them on a picnic table.
