Are you positive that they aren't woodpecker holes? No those aren't from a woodpecker , at least non that live in the northeast. I have woodpeckers going crazy in my neighborhood for the last month or so , it's easy to find the trees they are in by looking at the ground around the tree ... there will be chunks of tree strewn about , those things make big holes to get to the bugs inside ... and if there are bugs in a tree 30 ft off the ground it's the same outcome ... cut it down before it falls down.
running up my post count some more .

Looks like some kind of borer to me. We lost ash trees in Ohio with holes just like that.
What's the deal with the grey scale on those trees? I have that on some trees here in Tennessee. Same trees are loosing limbs.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Maple petiole borer or Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. I didn't know there was really a bird called a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. But, today I actually saw one at my bird feeder. Mystery solved.

Look like carpenter bee holes to me too. The larva are in the holes, and around here the woodpeckers go after them and do a ton more damage. Keep watch on a warm day and you’ll probably see them hovering around that tree. They are pretty docile and do not attack/sting. ...unless you accidentally interrupt a territory dispute, then be careful. Also, they have the irritating habit of pulling up right in front of your face just to scare the ever-lovin' right out of you when you least expect it.

Around here they talk about Bore Bees. I had never heard that before so I just now googled it and they are also called carpenter bees which I had heard of. Must depend on where you live. lol

Treated wood isn't safe from them, they'll bore in it too.

Treated wood isn't safe from them, they'll bore in it too. Tennis racket also works great if you happen to get a bat flying around inside your house. Picture me running around in the house trying to catch a bat with three females running around screaming "kill it" a salivating cat following it around determined to catch that flying mouse and a dog barking just because. I swear I could hear Benny Hill music in the background. Lol some of you are not old enough to get that.
