graylocks, that looks like a reasonable solution. I guess you might put some fencing or something around the base, so as to discourage a predator. If this IS a prank, it's in awfully poor taste.
Handy site: http://www.sialis.org/nests.htm ... I'm curious what species this is, I'm thinking Starling but it's hard to tell from the photos... I suppose you could also set up a webcam and find out!
I was thinking Robin: mostly because the egg is blue but also because I know that Robins have voluntarily built nests on porches. Usually not that exposed of course, but it indicates they aren't as paranoid about being close to humans as we might expect.
