Hi Jeffrey!  Those are awesome photos.  Congratulations on your new bluebird
tenants!  It's inspiration for the rest of us to put out more boxes,
especially with the trees that have fallen down from the last storm.  I
suppose you'll be naming what kind of larvae the adults are bringing to the
nest too?  (just kidding)

I placed five nest boxes around my in-laws home in Advocate Harbour this
spring and low and behold success!!! Both male and female were seen carrying
food and entering the box. Thankfully the old pine the box is in was strong
enough to withstand the winds of the previous weekend. 
I also spotted the northern mockingbird Hans had previously mentioned  in
alders in the blueberries on the way to Spencers Island.
I have posted a few pictures on my pbase site for those interested
