What Did This?

As far as I know we don't have porcupines around here, but anything can happen. I've seen a few bears and a panther pass through this neck of the woods over the years.

We actually have porcupines in North ga but it's really rare to see one.

I just have Athens as my "area" on my profile. I live in a rather rural part of Oglethorpe county.

Are you kin to the fine Paul BBQ family? I used to work with James Albert at Ma Bell. Bill

It's a possibility. Every Paul I know from Oglethorpe county I'm related to one way or another

When you come upon a tree that looks like this in the forest you might think that a bear had gone after it, but this damage was caused by a woodpecker-a Pileated woodpecker, to be exact. I see trees that look like this all of the time, and have even seen trees cut in half with their top on the ground. I wish I had gotten the large pile of woodchips at the base of the tree in this photo, but I wasn’t thinking

I've seen them top out a lot of trees where I live. They are pretty cool. Look like mini pterodactyls in flight.
