Since then, a pair of sparrows have returned to harass the bluebirds. They sit on the fence near the box. So far I haven't seen them try to go in, but in past years they have gone in, broken the eggs, and built a nest right on top of the bluebird nest. This seems kind of late for bluebirds to be nesting. Hope they make it.
