Dying Tree Blues

This tree is half dead. It is pretty amazing to me that it survived the tropical storm winds, but it is clearly in bad shape.

 Is this being eaten by a woodpecker or is it termites. Please don't be termites.

Sure looks like a woodpecker to me, but how the hell would I know?

Saw dust on the ground. Interesting.

    we have at least 3 different types of woodpeckers in methuen. what you are seeing is the woodpeckers eating the termites and other insects in the tree.
