My sister had a downy woodpecker nest in a hole about 2.5 ft off the ground in a broken crabapple tree trunk in Fremont. And it excavated the hole there, so didn't just use an existing hole because it was expedient. Diane T in Laramie

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.Paul O.

PaulThat looks like a siberian elm. The size of the hole could indicate a downy or maybe red-headed woodpecker, but I've never seen such a hole that low to the ground. Does it look like newly worked wood, or is it weathered a bit?Wayne

Nest hole ...
Gearing Cemetery 8.3.25. This apparent nest was about 3 feet off the ground on the edge of a gully. Any idea what bird or… might have created this nest hole?
