If you’ve had HOSP attacks, would set up that Van Ert in other box & stick around to see if you can trap HOSP. I’ve heard from people here that fishing line version can work, but the sparrow spooker as we know it has 3 rows of Mylar hanging down to touch top of box on both sides (6 Mylar strips total). Sialis site shows pics.
Hope it all works out!

Vanessa- If you do find that Titmouse nest is still active, I think you can use a hole reducer to keep EABL out. Forget the exact size. Think it’s 1.25″?

Oh, Donna-
So so sorry! I’ll let the more experienced ones comment on the eggs. Maybe that male will find a new mate & come back. Hope so. Hang in there!
Nicole
So glad all fledgelings & mom are all still doing well! Hope she & new mate nest with you again. Don’t have TRES where I live, but I know a lot of people on this site do. Hope all continues to go well!

Ok, Scot- http://www.sparrowtraps.net from Blaine Johnson. Paid ~ $25 for it. Also, just saw that on this site under topics, there’s “how to make a wren guard.” Hope that helps!
Thanks to Cher for providing this forum for us all!

Thanks for clarifying, Donna, about the 1 & 1/8″ hole reducer. I got one for that very reason in case I get Dees. Glad to know that you’re helping them along!
Scot, I went online & bought my sparrow spooker & pretty sure most people make their wren guards. Don’t get HOWR, so will let others comment on wren guard. Will look to see where I purchased spooker & get back to you. Lots of people make theirs, too. Think Sialis site outlines how to make/provide both (pretty sure).

Got a good laugh out of that, Scot. So very glad they’ve returned to the original box. Hope they have several hatchlings!

Hi Scot-
So glad the little one fledged! There is a good chance you’ll see that baby again a couple of weeks down the road if he/she makes it through that time. My first brood fledged a few weeks ago & exactly 2 weeks later, the fledgelings were coming around with the parents to the feeder & bird fountain. Since the parents are nesting so soon again in your yard, I imagine it could be sooner. Others that have more experience could comment on what they’ve witnessed. I do hope they decide to renest in the same box & not the woodpecker box. Best of luck!
Nicole
