RE: [cayugabirds-l] Another nesting Carolina Wren question

I would say if you're going to move it, do it now without delay, ideally when 
they're not around!

Laura. I'm gonna go out on limb here and say move it. But if you wait till 
there are eggs they surely won't abandon.

 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.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Another nesting Carolina Wren question

[Laura J. Heisey]

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.
