I'm guessing, competing House Wrens. House Wrens will pierce eggs and evict tiny babies of ALL species nests near their nest. I guess for less food completion. If they see a nest box hole occupied by other wrens from their nest box vantage point, one will win out. Place boxes away from the sight of one another and you might not have as much fatality.
