i haven't been able to mount a nest box on the baffled pole that I finally found somebody to put up for me and guess they got tired of waiting. I just figured they nested someplace else...well, they did.
So...should I intervene in any way? Try to move this nest box to a baffled pole? Move the nest to a BB box on a baffled pole? Or... just leave well enough alone and pray alot for their safety. I even am wondering if my chopping away at the brush to access the box was wrong.
I have been trying to figure out how to get a nest box on the top of this baffled pole. Having neither a "honey do", helpful neighbor or 3 arms...I have not been able to mount one myself. Now that they have nested I would think that mounting a box should wait till this clutch either is successfully fledged or whatever. I can't imagine any way to make this nest safe.
Here's a pic of how far the pole and baffle plan got.
Feedback appreciated.
