We have in the surrounding Trees, Bushes and Hedges Nests as well, and at least once a Week we hear the Does making some Noise. Obviously Cats, as the Snakes are extend around here. Just make sure the Birds are save, doing the "Tweetie" (mounting the Birdhouse on a Pole and securing it with barbwire) or something - once those Predators know that they can find Food there, they will check it regulary.

They hatched their first brood earlier during the spring and actually came back to hatch another brood. The first brood took wing while I was away for a weekend, I came back to an abandoned nest. The second brood took wing during a couple of work days... three in the nest one day, one left on day two, then it was gone on day three. I didn't expect them to take to wing so quickly, but I'm sure that's what they did. I'm fairly positive that they flew away as opposed to becoming some predators' dinner, well, at least while they were under the porch roof that is. Hopefully your guests took to wing also, and were just hiding out in nearby shrubs until they got comfortable and competent with flying.

Mainly robins. Its so much fun to watch them grow up, but sadly, we have lost a few to cats as well. My heart goes out to our feathered friends. Stay hopeful and watch for new neighbors!
