Bird Watching: what should I do about nests when I have my house painted?, 1 by Elphaba

I thought the one on the house was a new nest, so I opened it to check for eggs. The nest was still in the early stages, so I took it down! One problem solved. I feel bad for the nester, but you were right, better now than later.

I've heard the babies in the other nest, but it's in the hanging basket, so hopefully I can move it.

There's a third nest in a bromiliad hanging on the side of the house. I saw the Carolina wrens make it, but I think they abandoned it. I can't see in it. I guess I'll take it down and then check and hope for the best.

Thanks for the help! Here's a pic of the newby nest that I removed!
