Hi Mate, yes they should drop in and feed, especially if it's the first crop to be cut in the area. If the Farmer has his combine set up well there won't be much spilt grain for them to mop up so you'll have to keep an eye out and be quick.

 

Are there any patches of un cut corn that are flattened? pigeons usually make a bit of a bee line for these as it's easy pickings with the corn ears at beak level.

 

Keep watching and they should eventually give the game away as to where they are feeding!
