Yes, I had a nesting pair this Spring for the first time in a few years, (the fencerow bordering my yard has grown up). They seldom come out in the open, but have been feeding on something in my yard for the last week or so, maybe finding dead Cicadas.

We had a family of Robins in the yard this morning during our breakfast. There was a juvenile Robin with them and Mama Robin was on guard. I feed raw and in the shell peanuts to the Bluejays and Mama Robin took in after one of the Jays and ran him, or her, off very quickly. Later on, I saw both adult Robins chasing a Grackle out of the yard.
Ain't nature grand!

BH, they seem to like it around that big utility pole. Do you put corn (or some other feed stuff) there to attract them?

Baby Homing pigeons are about the ugliest little things, hard to believe they grow into sleek flying machines.

Ken I actually put cracked corn on the ground for the doves and other ground feeders but turkeys probably get more than anybody, I've also got a couple of what I call trough feeders that I utilize.
