If you do remove the start of the nest, she will rebuild.
Thanks Donna and all. I did remove the nest and cleaned the box yesterday. This afternoon there is another nest almost as complete as the one I removed. Both birds have been in and out of the box all day. I expect she will start laying soon. I also bought a tube of the white lithium grease and applied it to the pole under the baffle. I will keep an I on that to see if it works.
I will post some photos of the new nest and the birds after the weekend. Have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend.
