The weather has been interesting. There are trees that are looking amazing.
Sunny days, cold night with frost in the morning.
Oct. 2nd I noticed this!
It had to be a pileated woodpecker, like these.
Setting up the trailcam in front of it, I found Oct. 12th that there was no evidence of a woodpecker, but more damage was done. MYSTERY!
I have hung on to these photos hoping I'd catch the culprit, but all I found was a Downy or Hairy woodpecker. Not the Pileated Woodpecker I'd expected.

That's amazing that that little fellow can cause all that damage! what on earth is it's purpose?
Wow! Thanks interesting vertical damage. Even beavers don't chew up and down like that. Aliens? Don't let the damaged trees fall and hurt any humans. Linda in Kansas
Or is that woodpecker out of sorts? Linda in Kansas
Holy cow, that's a lot of damage! Beautiful leaves :)
Something big is out & about there.
Great pictures and videos. I love all the critters you find around you.
I wonder who the vandal is?
It's looking for bugs, Barb! They go into the dead wood.
You still have some good colour. I’m sure there are still some good trees in Riverside Park here.
And I don't think these are pileated woodpecker chips either. Keep the camera on that spot for a while.
Looks like bigger damage...might be a bear:)
This was great! I loved everything you shared
