No problem! I think they do mate for life, they are seen in pairs during both breeding and non-breeding season. How wonderful to have spotted a couple!

@LauraMaria @SarahHiteWhitt Thanks! Looks like I've spotted both male (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6093017) and female on the same fence. Do they form lifetime couples?

Thanks Laura! I am not up on my birds - am learing! I agree with you on the ID!
