... our buddy the pileated woodpecker, indigeneous to North America and the largest one in its species. You can hear them peck away all year round and the noise is a dead giveaway to their whereabouts, even at a far distance. A large, noisy, hole-drilling pecker is never a good thing in the neighbourhood.

It's mate-calling season. I have one that comes every year to tap on my chimney. So far, no damage like what you photographed.
By the way, that's a great close-up you got.
Wow!
I had NO idea they pecked such large and so many holes!
From the placement of some of the holes I thought some bright spark must ahve been preparing for a rail & post fence,with the tree being the post!
Our cockatoos and parrots love nesting in hollow tree branches,but your guy is unreal!
I can fit my boot into the largest hole. Whatever did this was mucho hungry for bugs.
