Really cool observation of a copperhead in a hunting position. Most likely looking for lizards that are crossing or basking in the area. I think some others saw a couple species of sceloporus so that's what I would expect its waiting on.

Saw this in the Barton 360 parking lot as I got out of my car. A group of people was already looking at it but the snake was not bothered. I didn't see any movement from the rodent so I'm assuming it was dead at this point. I came back a couple hours later and both were gone without a trace.
