Nature's Perforating Machine

I discovered Saturday morning that we have a downy woodpecker that is chowing down on whatever is living in a dead limb of our lilac bush/tree. I heard the tap tap tapping and went to investigate, and there he was, and he didn't fly away until I was about 4 feet away. I inspected the branch - he's been busy, it's stripped almost all the way down to trunk, and a variety of hole depths. I looked on the ground, and found this stripped off bark - perfed by the woodpecker.
