330-Trapper, Do the sparrows occupy your boxes after the Bluebirds have nested in them and left, or do they compete for the vacancy in the boxes during the nesting season?

Seems like most the time they will. I have only put up wren hoses cause sparrows take any with a bigger hole

Mountain Bluebirds are distinguished from the other bluebirds by the male's all blue coloration, without rusty underparts which females have.
I have seen them here for a while now. That deep blue is a color of it's own just beautiful.
