Kathy, You might try putting a small "portal" sized for a chickadee that would exclude most house sparrows and avert disaster.  They also keep the woodpeckers from making the holes bigger as well.

I have moved a nearby box to the other side of the yard as a 
precaution against the house wrens who would kill the nestlings if they were 
within the wren's territory (about 50 yds, I believe).
