Bluebirds; there was always a male and a female
Mockingbirds; there was always a male and a female
Robins; there was always a male and a female
Cardinals; there was always a male and a female
Mourning Doves; there was always a male and a female.....

Even the unexperienced bird watcher knows that the above mentioned birds mostly, if not always seem to arrive in pairs; wherever you would see the male or female of the bird, sure enough in plain eyesight you could always see the opposite in trail or just ahead of the other.  For years this has been a common sight as I would sit on my back porch each morning however for some reason I've noticed (I obviously have too much time on my hands to ponder things) that there now seems to be only one of these birds coming each morning as well as late afternoon/evening.  Perhaps it's not mating season and they're just out doing their own things; I'm not sure.  All I know is that things seem different for the birds too and I now have what looks like a singles hangout in my yard.  I think I've finally lost it now that I'm seeing single birds!
