I spied this tree across the road from my house. I don't recall the tree having these holes in the past few days. I also noticed the smaller holes upon closer inspection. I was wondering if these holes could be animal made or if anyone has seen anything similar before. Could this be the work of termites? Woodpeckers?

So, I'm thinking these are woodpecker holes, who bored holes in this tree to get at the termites inside it (the smaller holes). I study monkeys, so my expertise on insects and birds is minimal.
Added, thanks for reminding me! Any idea what made all these holes?
