Stake out a large dog by the nest, and they'll move? I don't think staking out a cat would work, since you'd likely end up with either dead baby birds, or a cowed cat, with tufts of cat fur in that nest, cushioning baby birds...Them mockerbirds ain't a'scairt o' *nuthin'!* Seriously, if there are no eggs/babies yet (what else are telescopes for?), your best bet is to take down the nest. Just put on your battle gear - and goggles! - when you brave the winged furies.
