I came across this mourning dove along the highway. Its mate had been hit by a car and the partner tried to waken the dead bird. This went on for about 30 minutes. Each time a car would come by the dove would run away then return immediately after the car went by. Eventually I moved the carcass away from the edge of the road so that the other bird would not get hit.
