[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1711068, member: 21194"] Like [USER=18945]@greybeard[/USER] said, they're very common here. I grew up hearing them called "tick birds", and was told that they pick ticks off of cattle, but I have since come to believe that's not the case. They're always around cattle because as the cows graze they kick up insects that the birds then grab and eat. I've also had them following me around when mowing weeds for the same reason. [/QUOTE]
