I've noticed groups of birds gathering at various spots around the lawn, mostly after it rains but not always. They will peck at the lawn as if hunting for food. I've added a couple pics of the aftermath. My first two guesses were worms and/or grubs, but I never see them pull anything out (and sometimes they get close enough to the house where I think I'd be able to see a worm or grub in their mouth). Also, it's not always after rain, so that's why I didn't think worms. It doesn't seem to coincide with any other lawn activity (fert, compost, etc), either.
Has anyone seen this before? Is it grubs and/or worms? What can I do in this fight, outside of some sort of annual grub control (if it is grubs)?
