I have them too here in north central Florida, but only two pairs that come everyday so far. They don’t like coming close to the house because I have a few cats. So, I put food way out in the yard for them. I didn’t know that about the nests. I guess they’re minimalists.
Sometimes they don’t even bother with the sticks. They just find some old stuffing from a mattress and make a pile. They are hell on lawn furniture cushions......Some of the ones here don’t pay any attention to me at all. I walk by and they just look up at me.........
