Michael,
One pair at Howard Springs nested on the same branch for several years.

 However, as it was over a barbecue and the little family was well and truly
smoked every time it was used, the rangers in their wisdom decided to remove
the offending item.

That was it.  The frogmouths moved away and never returned.
