The only racer I've peronally seen "in the wild" in the last few years was about 6 feet off the ground, weaving it's way through a chain link fence. It MAY have been harassed by someone moments before I got there.

This was in Florda City, Florida. (A few miles from where the Florida Keys start).

The handful off times I've seen them before that, they were on the ground and darted for the nearest tall grass or into low bushes.

But then, I would be much less likely to notice them in the trees...

They seem to love anoles, so it would make sense that would do a little climbing now and then.
