What's your take on this?

Here's what recently appeared on my Shining Gum tree (Eucalyptus nitens).
What's your take on this ... Woodpeckers?

Cheers, LPN.

 

Sapsuckers... (so yes, woodpeckers)

 

The males are colorful, black-and-white with red heads and yellow fronts ("bellies").

 

I've seen sapsuckers on birch trees a lot...just about chopped the trees down there was so many holes

 

Carol,
Lucky I don't grow Birch trees!
Cheers, LPN.

 

Both Nothofagus and some of the maples here at the garden have sapsucker holes.

 

This might help.
