Male and female observed. They built a nest in the Port wine magnolia but no sign of babies so I feel the bird may have been attacked by a larger bird

The above comment is not significant. This bird is extremely disloyal to its partner and both mate with each other and other birds in the area and the female lays eggs in her own nest and any other available nest. It is an example of indiscriminate breeding and gene pool dissemination common in birds.
