I moved it this afternoon. Also redirected some vines that could serve as launch points for the chipmunks. That kind of sucks because the vines also serve as shelter and perches. I think they'll be fine. I'll send photos as things progress. This is very exciting.

One basket is accessible by chipmunks, which I know is disastrous for the wrens. It's hanging on a shepherd's hook attached to the porch railing. I can remove the hook and hang the basket directly from the roof, foiling the chipmunks. It would mean moving the basket about a foot. Do I dare move it at this point? Thanks everyone, for your advice and encouragement.
