I didn't think too much about it but when returning home 45 minutes later, they both were still there in the same positions. I certainly hope the one wasn't struck by a vehicle and the mate guarding her/him. I wanted to call someone but have no idea who to call or if anyone would even respond since they are wild birds. If anyone has any ideas please respond.


I am so afraid you are right. I am sure that everyone that reads it will be sad. They mate for life.
