We are trying to determine what is making the holes in our tree.  And, 2nd step, what to do about it?

Expert Response

The holes are caused by a small species of woodpecker called a sapsucker. While they certainly aren't doing the tree any good they are not going to kill your tree and there is no recommended action to stop their activity.
