Thanks for all your advice. Looks like a wren guard is what I need. I cleaned the nest out. Before I got the advice to block the hole or open the box, I have a new male hanging out at the nest (but no female yet). I haven’t seen the old male or female in a few days.

I’m a novice birder, so I probably misidentified the wren. First thing this morning there were still three eggs, but no sign of either parent. By early afternoon there were no eggs left. I removed the nest.

Just chased a Carolina Wren away from the house. It took the egg with the pip.

On checking the box this morning. One egg is missing and one egg has a pip. I saw the female a few hours ago, but she isn’t around now.

Thanks much for the quick response.
I will wait until they loose interest.
