After seeing my friend Manny's stumpin' pics I had to get out yesterday.  Here are some pics from Happy Valley State Forest:

This tree had a big pile of wood chips at its base:
 

Something was eating away at it:

Great pics.

Big hole looks like it might be from a woodpecker.

Friend of mine had a tree in his backyard at his cottage like that and said he always saw one picking away at it. Eventually it caused the tree to break.
