We happened upon this scene on a romp through the woods. Someone had very recently been there, with so much evidence of nature’s sawdust on top of the snow.

Who would make such small holes? They are about half a centimetre to a centimetre in diameter.

Our guess is small woodpeckers. We do have plenty of downy and hairy woodpeckers around all year. Such sweet things!

The tree was liberally sprinkled with these holes, but even low down to the ground (which we weren’t exactly expecting).
