Thanks Pell! You know whats kind of funny?... there is a mockingbird nest just a few feet away from the chickadee house in my hawthorn tree. They don't seem to mind being close to each other at all! In fact sometimes the mockingbird stands on top of the chickadee house and the dees don't mind. On the other hand the mockingbird chases other birds away that are similar in size to itself. It hates seeing any robins near its nest. I wonder if the dees and the mockers don't consider each other competition because of the size difference.

Here is the mocker nest but its not the best picture.
