In the spring of 2018 I was surprised to see a nest in the joint of a support beam on my back porch. I come and go through that door every day; I would have figured it would be too high-traffic. But there was a nest, and then there was a bird occupying it nearly full-time -- a bird who got angry and actually glared at me if I tried to take a look. But occasionally I was able to see the chicks that resulted. I took this picture of the robin family in May 2018, standing on a stepstool at my back door and holding my (phone) camera out and up, basically shooting blind. ![Image alt text](https://outdoors.codidact.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBYQT09IiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--65068b52ccb614e145dfd8ca5e6fe250c6d5a3b2/chicks-4-crop.png)
