Wayne,
It was what was left of a piece of tree that had been cut down. It
looked slightly weathered but could not tell if this stump had been there
awhile or if it was just a piece of cut down tree that was left standing on
end but buried. As low as it was I considered a wren but the markings
around the hole appeared to me to be similar to smaller woodpeckers.
Not sure if that is helpful or not. God Bless.
