At my son's home in Massachusetts, they fly down from the pine trees and chase their dog in the backyard.
It's also not unusual for cars to be stopped on a roadway as they cross, and it's especially cute when their flock of chicks are following along. Add 10 minutes to springtime morning commuting!

We call them "Thanksgiving dinner on the fly".
