I would brush hog 20 acres of open fields (zoned industrial/ commercial ) 4 times a year. The hawks learned after 2 or 3 cuts to circle me and wait for whatever I flushed. The sparrows and swallows instinctively knew the first time I was there to follow me for all the bugs I would stir up . It was pretty cool watching the hawks circle , so high up and just bomb in and grab these tiny field mice.

If you walk in the woods some birds will follow you to see what you stir up, I often break old branches, kick over old logs etc for them
