I just watched a male cardinal land on the rail of my deck and hop along the rail about half of the perimeter. That's not so unusual, then a female landed near him on the rail and the touched beaks. After that, they hopped around different places in a tall bush near the rail and now their exploring the ground.
I've never seen a mated pair together before. Are they just out looking for food and/or building materials in the same place, or since they're both here, are the building a nest nearby?
