Found this tree on the ground, What's with the little holes?

[creaid]

Never seen a tree with holes like this. What would the holes be from? Thanks.

 

[ents]

Yep, pecker woods. See em all over my Bradford (spelling) pear.

 

[wildbio]

yes, sapsuckers excavate the holes and then come back to lap the sap

So it will be ok to burn? I didn't know if it was some kind of insect or what.

 

[acer saccharum]

fine to burn

Yep woodpecker. It's good to burn and actually when a woodie starts hammering a tree, it's a good indication that it's dead or close too it.:greenchainsaw:

Do you know what kind of tree it is? Looks like a pine from what little I can see.

It is some kind of oak. Maybe somebody here can help identify.

I agree. Bark looks like it. It's laying in a bed of pine needles, and there's even a green pine needle stuck to the trunk in the first pic.
