No dogs or cats are loose, so there are no threats except wild animals. The only predators I've seen are 4 huge crows that check her out everyday. They have never come around before, but do now. They sit up in the trees for 15 minutes or so and then leave.

The pair checked out the area pretty thoroughly for several days before she nested. With all the bushes and grasses leafing out, she is quite concealed.
