I'm so glad you all enjoyed the videos! I must admit I've watched the "liftoff" one numerous times, and get a little misty eyed when he/she takes off. I realize I posted the wrong pic above, in the "Whew! All that activity sure works up an appetite! "Hey MOM, where's the grub?" post. Below is the correct photo...what a little piggy :-)

I'm pretty sure the nest is going to get trimmed off when the gardeners trim the hedge. It's right out front and very exposed. I've thought about taking the nest, but I'd need to get some good clippers, because I'd need to take a bit of the limb it's on due to how it's built. It's also not on my property, although the people I've met next door seem didn't seem to mind me hanging out over there. I'm considering going out there next Tuesday and bugging the gardeners yet again, but I might just leave well enough alone. I'm not sure yet...
