User's notes

We (a couple of observers) think this is a sad ending to the tale shown in sighting #4390173. On the evening when the female escaped the ravens, we saw her fly to where she normally meets her mate. However, he did not show up. I am told that she called all night. We conjecture that this is her mate, not too far from where they had a suspected (but unfound), nest.

😭 - sad story - hopefully if they had a nest she might be able to raise the chicks by herself but it would be difficult.
