I've had a couple of nest box modifications over my almost two decades of working with owls. Ones I've taken pictures of are:

Within the core of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park: http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/newhole.jpg, a new hole in the side of the box.

In the Wreck Cove area, a demon clawed its way into the box (I was actually a bit nervous checking this one): http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/enlargedhole.jpg

A few years ago, a Hairy enlarged our swallow box hole two years in a row, until I moved it onto a light post attached to our step.  This worked for a year, and had the dual effect of helping to keep the sparrows away.  This year, the determined sparrows kept the swallows away, even though the sparrows couldn't fit in the hole.  Result...nothing nested in this box, although Chickadees took up residence in one nearby.
