The other interesting thing is that after they cut the hay, it was a feast for the turkey vultures (oddly, I didn't see any black vultures which is what I usually find here). There have been probably 10-20 vultures in the field for the past couple of days. I'm guessing they've been snaking on rats and mice and snakes that didn't make it out of the way of the cutting. I also saw a Northern Crested Caracara in the field in the evening yesterday.
Here...the farmers have to deal with the Sand Hill Cranes.
The day after a farmer plants corn...they are walking down the rows spearing the seed out to eat.
