This robin built her nest in the corner of my house foundation. I could not get close enough to take a picture without spooking her. The nest was also in a very dark corner of the house. I pre-setup my camera on a tripod with a remotely controlled shutter release attached and a Nikon SB600 flash added to provide light.

Nikon D300, Nikon 70-300mm @ 240mm, 1/250sec @ f/16, ISO 400, Nikon SB600 flash, Manfrotto tripod
