This dead Joshua Tree has been chewed into by something, not sure what. Life and death in the desert.

This seems to be my day to have natural history answers for you, John. You are in the range of the acorn woodpecker. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Acorn_Woodpecker/overview
Wow Doug, thanks so much! The bird creates great photo subjects. 😎
I am curesed with considerable trivia knowledge! Besides, I was the Vice President of Nebraska Ornithologists’ Union in the late 1980s and am a life member. I’ve never seen an acoprn woodpecker, but woodpeckers are among of my favorites.
Hmmmm……I wonder which came first: the holes (killed the tree) or the death of the tree (opening up the hole boring activity). Anyway, like Shelly above I like the B&W image best.
Looks like a woodpecker to me…as a novice. But, as an admirer of your photography – it was an excellent choice to run it in B&W too. All the textures look great in both color and B&W!
Thank you Shelley! I am not a birder so the Woodpecker idea works. The BW looks much better doesn’t it!
Yes – I agree!
I hope you guys get to have some wine on your deck today! Rain rain go away aye?
Me too!!
