Ten feet might be a bit on the high side. If you could pull the box back towards the trunk of the tree and attach it there - that would work. Too bad about the eggs. The good thing is if she takes to the nestbox, you'll have a great view of the babies!

We're having shrimp tonight, too. We're having shrimp etoufee. Yummmm! The in-laws are coming up from Louisiana on Wednesday and they're bringing blue crabs! Yippee! I'm from MD remember.
