Harley Rake (but I've been out of the landscaping business for some time, there may be better options now)

A landscape rake would clean that up in no time.

Problem with a landscape rake it they fill up so quickly and then you start loosing sticks off to the side of it. If you have the time, they do work, buy you have to create all sorts of small piles that still need to be picked up. I like to create a line of sticks with my rake and get what I can with my grapple.
Why do you want to pick them up? They will rot away in a few years.

Looks ready to seed. Sticks would be rough on a mower.

Tiller would chew em up and smooth out your dirt for seeding.

Pick them up by hand is about the only way to get them all. Either after piling with a rake or just gather them as they sit, you will be doing some hand work.
Problem with a rake is that they tend to gather a lot of dirt along with the sticks so then you have to sort thru the pile of dirt.
If you have a tooth bar, you can lightly drag the teeth in the dirt with the bucket full tilt, but go slow incase you hit an immovable object, to gather them into small piles. The toothbar will allow most dirt to sift thru while gathering most of the sticks, a few will sift thru though and still require some stooping and bending to hand gather.
The good thing is that the small ones will rot fairly quickly and the tiller will chop most of them even smaller.
