CC and BG are the easiest to train, but as soon as activity begins the HSB will show up � usually on the outer edges of feed pattern.
The larger they become the more aggressive they become.

I've noticed the same thing with mine. For the first year or two they stayed around cover feeding. Now, they are out competeing my larger CC for food.
