In this episode, we discovered a hollowed-out tree with two perfectly round holes while exploring the forest. Could this tree have been the work of woodpeckers, or perhaps another forest-dwelling creature like squirrels or even owls? These types of holes often serve as nests or shelters, but the mystery lies in figuring out which animal created them.

Join us as we delve into the possible origins of these fascinating tree holes and uncover what may have caused this unique formation in the forest.

Louisiana Viewers

Explore Louisiana nature in close-up

Louisiana is shaped by water: the Mississippi, Atchafalaya Basin, bayous, cypress-tupelo swamps, coastal marshes, chenier ridges, and pine forests. Small changes in elevation and salinity can create major differences in plants, insects, reptiles, and birds.

From New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Shreveport, and communities statewide, viewers can use this guide to compare local habitats, seasons, and field marks with original WhatsTheZoom videos. A useful identification starts with where and when an observation was made—not simply what color it appeared on camera.

Habitats and wildlife clues to watch

  • Watch swamp and bayou margins for dragonflies and water-surface insects.
  • Compare freshwater forested wetlands with brackish and salt marsh.
  • Study longleaf pine and upland habitats away from flood-prone ground.
  • Observe coastal life with attention to tides, heat, storms, and nesting areas.

When to look closely in Louisiana

Spring migration and flowering overlap with rapidly increasing insect activity. Summer is lush but hot and storm-prone; autumn can bring migration and more comfortable observation. Mild winters still support wetland birds, evergreen plants, and many coastal subjects.

Watch a clip, pause on the clearest field marks, and compare the subject with the habitat guidance above:

For a stronger identification, record the date, broad location, habitat, approximate size, behavior, and several viewing angles. Avoid handling unknown fungi, plants, insects, or wildlife, and follow current local access and safety guidance.

Location transparency: WhatsTheZoom creates and owns the videos shown across this network, but not every featured clip was recorded in Louisiana. This regional page explains what viewers in Louisiana can look for and how geographic context changes an identification; it does not relabel footage from another location.
