They cover the sides and diagonal out front, running with the tractor gathering bugs from the grass. Have no idea how they keep up in the heat, but they seem to do just that. I see them stop, get a drink in the pond and grab a small frog, or you will see them riding on a cow's back, picking bugs or jumping off to grab a grasshopper. When I quit mowing they all leave.
Pretty amazing little birds.
