Woodpeckers normally leave holes. I don't see any in the picture? I'd think something more like a squirrel or other climbing animal looking for a winter home.

It does look like it was caused by an animal with teeth but squirrels don't usually pick a place in the middle of nowhere.

I'm also thinking something with teeth but it's an odd place for that. Woodpeckers destroy wood looking for bugs. It's my understanding that they can hear them in the wood. I've ran into a few times where the woodpecker mistook styrofoam expanding/contracting for bug activity.

If there was one place where there wouldn't be bugs in my house, this would be it. I looked at the wood beneath it for claw marks at couldn't find any. Guess the stain has to come out again.

I guess we now know who the culprit was.
