The male sat on a branch above the box while the female sat on the top of the box. 
The male.
The female.It’ll be interesting to see if they chose either of these boxes. The first box is shaded in the morning but gets the afternoon sun. It is in a slightly quieter area although the tractor is parked nearby. The second box gets morning sun but will be shaded in the late afternoon. It is, however, right beside the drive; will the traffic be too disturbing? Time will tell…

Great shots of the Eastern Bluebirds Joan. I'm hoping that you get bluebirds in all of your nest boxes this year!
Going back and reading your previous post with the flying squirrels (those have to be really cool!), I thought you would enjoy my friend Bet's page on flying squirrels! She has the best Bluebird page on the net, loaded with information on blues.
Thanks! Last year the flying squirrel didn't use a nest box. Three boxes were used the the Eastern Bluebirds and another four were used by chickadees or tufted titmice.
Thanks for the link to the Sialis page link. It's great.
