Took this shot quick...mama's out for lunch😃.

That'll be it until I know they've hatched.  After that, I'll keep you guys posted...hope you all enjoy this as much as I do!!

Bluebirds sit at night, usually out for the day, and after hatch, they return to feed hatchlings. I hope mama comes in at night, but I won't be checking, not to disturb her. So we'll see how it goes😃.

Watch for wrens...they will destroy the eggs.

I have several bluebird houses & wrens are the biggest problem, they're relentless. Thanks for sharing the picture.

@Dazlin   House wrens (not Carolina Wrens) and House Sparrows are what you have to worry about with bluebird nests.  Mama and Papa bluebird are often nearby watching their house/nest.
