We had a robin build a nest on our porch light. There was an empty one there for a while that I didn't move until last summer. Since it was vacant early enough, another bird decided to make a home. I noticed it in late May and had been taking pictures every couple days. I couldn't see in from the step, but was able to hold my phone over it. I finally saw eggs on June 8th and continued to document them as much as I could. There is a video at the end as well.
June 12th - babies!

The mom and dad were not swooping in as much at the beginning, so I was able to lift the kids up to show them the baby birds. Esme continued to talk about them and point to the nest as the days went by.

June 22nd - Only two birds left, not long before it's empty.
June 23rd - Empty nest. It was a fun couple of weeks watching the birds grow!
Love this, Lesa! My neighbor has a nest under her 2nd-story deck. We were able to peek at the babies from above. We could also see the mama sitting when we were under the deck on the patio. So much fun!
