I would go ahead and put up the new pole and house setup now.while they are still nesting.This will give them a chance to check things out before they are ready to nest again.Believe me ,they WILL check it out.When this nesting on the tree is finished ,Just remove the box from the tree once they have fledged.At this time I would take that box and mount on a pole also somewhere else in your yard.Then you will have 2 safe available boxes for them to choose from.

My family fledged today too! They were there yesterday, and gone this evening. Not quite sure how many I had as I was too afraid to open the door, but often saw there tiny beeks peeking out and Mom and Dad going back and forth feeding them. Cleaning out the nest, and hoping for another visit!

Congratulations on a successful fledging. I don't know why the adults would visit the nest when their young have fledged. My only guess would be to draw potential predators away from where their young are in the trees. If you watch for a while, do the adults then take off into the trees? While I've never had them revisit an empty nest, they do tend to land in a few locations where their babies are not hiding before heading out to feed them.

Congrats on the fledging and the second nesting. I am very anxious for the fledging of our nestlings, because it will be our first successful fledging. I'm also bummed that we will most likely be on vacation when they fledge: we are leaving for a week starting on the 11th, and today is their 8th or 9th day. I have no idea if they will stick around or not...hopefully I can atleast see them once when we get back just to be sure that they made it and are safe. Maybe mine will fledge late so I get to see them, however it is very doubtful since it is late in the season and I'm providing mealworms; I'm really just hoping for healthy fledglings. I think my TRES will be fledging today or tomorrow. I have been seeing heads poking out and hearing a lot of wing-flapping.
