Direction of Bluebird boxes

I live in Pittsburgh, PA, and in a local park I noticed some new bluebird
boxes. They appear to be placed with the opening in an easterly direction.
Would they do this so the boxes catch the morning sun, "or and" because the
storms generally travel here from the west, and the boxes would be more
likely to remain warm and dry?

Thanks

Tom
