Those Darn Peckers
The best I can tell, we have a Ladderback Woodpecker, a Red or Yellow Breasted Sapsucker, and one other rather elusive pecker. I get very poor photos of them, either through the window or from a distance outside with them constantly moving around. This is a close-up of what they are doing to my Crabapple tree.
Isn't that crazy? Those are huge holes!
Here's the Ladderback (I'm pretty sure I've identified it) through the kitchen window, working on one of our Redwood trees. It's a great hiding place for their treasures.
More damage, pretty major.
I don't know which type of Sapsucker this is. All I know is he's very busy and I wish he'd move away.

(Do I dare say they might be "pecking" elsewhere of late?
Knock on wood . . . smile . . .)
