Bird's Nest Found

Today, I found a bird's nest under my deck (that is about 4 feet height).

I think it's for the Red Robin bird that I have seen a lot lately. I like it and I am wondering if i just leave it alone, will it cause any grief in the future?

Should I consider placing a bird's bath somewhere for her and also the tree house things with brid's food?

Do you think bats will like my deck like the red robin too?

Thanks,
Melody

I would leave it alone, and enjoy watching nature. I had a robin's nest right outside my front door above the porch light last year. Strange place, but we enjoyed watching the babies and felt sorry for the poor things everytime we opened the door!
They learnt to fly pretty quickly, only after a few weeks, and we left the nest there in case the mother returns for her second nesting (which is common), but she didn't. We took it down by the end of fall.
