Woodpecker

This woodpecker apparently had vertigo. All the holes in this tree were below 2 meters from the ground.
We found this tree in the Adirondacks were we, on this gorgeous Saturday with clear bleu skies and 20 degrees, went for a long hike with Poupoune. She enjoyed it very much and so did we. Getting away from the house, the computer and all the house-buying fuzz felt really good. Even though we couldn’t stop talking and thing about the whole idea. Secretly we where already planning what to do to the house and in what order to do them. However, doing so surrounded by trees that started to show their leaves is much less stressful.

funny, i just found a western red cedar here on the coast of WA with the same pattern of holes. Curious about why they were so close to the ground on such a young tree despite the obvious heart rot in the center of the bole. they ranged in size from small to large but symetrical at the same time. Looked like small vertical springboard marks.
