I was watching a group of about a dozen wild turkeys scraping the ground and finding bites to eat when a group of corvids somewhere nearby started making alarm calls. Every single turkey stopped what they were doing and cocked their head to the side to listen. They stayed that way until the alarm calls stopped.

This black-and-white flycatcher was using a low perch on an open grassy hillside to wait for prey. Once the insect was in sight, it would fly out to catch it, either from the air or the ground and then return to its perch.
