You don't say how high the sill is off the ground and if there is anywhere a cat could hide near by.

Put the nest box up now as they may use it to roost during the colder months and then nest in it come spring.

The feeders sound ok to me - if theres food they will find it (you can get feeders that stick to windows too

).Put them somewhere where you can see whats coming to use them as its addictive watching birds
