The only box left with bluebirds had four nestlings rather sleepy. I could get some slight movement at 9AM but they obviously have not opened their eyes yet. Next time they should be active.

I have not had problems with chicks on hot days so far, but here we had one box not doing well. The more grown nestlings were all doing fine. Box 4 had two left in the box and two in the tree. I saw three birds in the tree (after I took the video) so at least the parents are still around.
This one in the tree is likely a sibling of the above two:
Bit of video of the same
The next box, Box 8, had four young nestlings as it did last week, but not very active at all. I can see at least three. One of them is dead in this picture, a recent event. The other two were moving just slightly.
The wrens next door had fledged, some 5-7 of them in Box 7.
Box 11 that had the "blob" hatching on July 9
All four fledged successfully and there is just an empty nest left:
