[Leica] IMG: Sapsucker Primitive Art

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Philippe.  I will keep an eye on it.  I have two of these trees, 
planted at the same time, and I didn't see any signs of this activity on 
the other one.  When fully leafed out, they look quite healthy.  These 
holes don't loosen the bark the way the bark beetle does, and appear to 
be self-sealing.
