These holes are made by Acorn woodpeckers. They drill holes in dead trees, dead branches, telephone poles, and wooden buildings. They then collect acorns and find a hole that is just the right size for the acorn. As the acorns dry out, they are moved to smaller holes. They also feed on insects, sap, and fruit.
