We often see them sitting on the cable or telephone lines as they watch the ground. Then they swoop down and snatch what ever they might see on the ground.
I love their coloring!
This is watercolor using Cerulean plus Cobalt Blue and Burnt Sienna plus a touch of red. Indigo with Burnt Sienna was used for darker areas.
Added a touch of 005 Micron pen/ink work for detailing.
This guy was up on our telephone line which is a super dark blue but I chose to leave it light so the feet would show.

Yes, beautiful bird, Susan. What kind of paper did you use here?
This was done in my Hand-book journal book. The texture of the paper nice for the wet in wet look and does well for not being a thicker watercolor paper.
