fortunately it's at the high end, the opposite side of the house from
the drain... Anybody have a suggestion about how to get them to move,
without hurting them? Alternatively, at what point in the summer I
could dump the nest because the babies have already flown?

Most birds will abandon the nest if you touch it, sorry to say.
About August for most birds?

Watch the nest twice a week for a minute. You'll know when they are
done. I'd expect it should take less than 2 months, depending on the
bird/conditions. Have patience, clean out your gutters, and consider
installing gutter guards.

Let's see:
-My cats know what time it is +/- a minute or less.
-Monarchs go thousands of miles to Mexico, at the right time,
without needing directions - something the human male has
yet to master.
-A herd of a dozen whales, each with a task, will "bubble net"
schools of fish to feed.
And you think they put it at that end by chance?
