Default Grub alert

When I find grubs at work, I toss them on the cart path. Within seconds,
every time, a mockingbird will swoop down and grab the grub. It's nice
watching the grub meet it's demise, and I swear the mockingbird whistled
"thanks". =D

What do you do when you find grubs at home?

Down here a grackle usually beats out the mockingbird. When I cut the
grass they follow behind the mower or stay just ahead and to the right,
scarfing up the grasshoppers trying to flee the mower. A real
prehistoric lookin' thing; the tail of the males longer than the body.
The whole bird is way longer than a 10" pine stick.
