I thought about this issue today (at work). I've decided to get a few nest boxes, mount them on very solid poles anchored in concrete, add predator guards to the openings and racoon baffles around the poles. I won't be able to do it anytime real soon, but I should be able to have them ready for next year at the very least. I figure that would give any birds that want to nest in my garden the best hope for safety from all of the predators that also call my little garden home.

And on that note, speaking of birds that might want to nest in my garden...

I've been hearing a lot of chirping around the front door. I've seen a pair of house finches in the crepe myrtle next to the door and some other teenie tiny birds chirping a lot. Today as I walked up, I saw this piece of glass on the mat.
