Swainson's hawks seem to love hunting on the ground.

If you're near Eden, Idaho (25 miles east of Twin Falls) in early 
September, travel down rural highway 25 and watch for small flocks of 
Swainson's hawks foraging in farmers' fields. A car makes an excellent 
mobile blind to watch from.

These are record shots with an older EOS 1D camera and 1000mm of lens:

And the Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey is 2 1/2 hours 
west, near Boise. The Center has rehab and educational birds like golden 
eagle One-Eyed Jack, and others you can see up close.
