I was raised calling them ground rattlers too. Often wondered why. See dem all the time hanging up on my barb wire fence. Everyone Is neatly hung up on a barb by their head. Old neighbor says its mocking birds that catch and hang dem out to try to eat later.

Lol! That ain't no mockingbird. That's a shrike, aka butcher bird. That is a way of saving their food, but also a territorial message. Shrikes mark their territories with kills.
