Dave, thank you so very much for your input in the matter of supporting our Eastern BBs. I'm fortunate in that I've not a problem with HOSP in the garden (fingers crossed) for as long as I've set out to watch birds these past years. However, I do see them in parking lots, at nursery and even at grocery parking lots in the close proximity of my garden.

Like D_N_P, I've set out nest boxes in random, although not targeting specific species. A pair of Eastern Blues have taken an interest in this one particular nest box among other two species, namely Carolina Chickadees and Whitebreasted Nuthatches. My questions are;
1. Is this too close for the feeder to be nearby the nest? (Roughly 10-15' from the nest box).
2. Will Carolina Checkadees or Whiteheaded Nuthatch will succeed in competing with the BBs on the final round. I've not observed any aggressive behavior from any of these birds toward one another. They just took turn exploring the nest box -- for the past 3 days.
