Gas Pains

Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.

Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.

Guess the critter

In keeping with this week's wildlife theme who can tell me what critter did this to one of my swamp white oaks?

I'll post the answer Thursday afternoon.

Here is the answer:

    If it was a bug that did that I'm in big trouble.

    It was a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (which is in the woodpecker group). So, SinissippGal correctly ID'd the bird by being technically correct.

    The alignment of the holes is the key.

    And THANK YOU for sharing the terrific Snowy Owl pictures!

    I'm going with the glamorous guess that it was a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, with the hope that it wasn't some sort of boring (and I don't mean dull!) insect.
    By the way, thanks so much for the previous post with my pictures...it was nice to see.

    I would guess some sort of insect. Hopefully not the emerald ash borer.
