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.

Montana Viewers

Explore Montana nature in close-up

Montana spans Northern Rockies, intermountain valleys, prairie, badlands, sagebrush, glacial lakes, and long river corridors. East–west distance and elevation create very different weather and biological timing, so precise location adds real value to any observation.

From Billings, Missoula, Bozeman, and rural communities across the state, 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 prairie plants and insects during calm, cooler hours.
  • Explore mountain forest for fungi and flowers after snowmelt and rain.
  • Observe river and wetland margins without crowding wildlife access routes.
  • Compare badland and sagebrush life with cooler high-elevation communities.

When to look closely in Montana

Valleys and eastern plains become active before high mountain country. Summer is brief but rich in flowers, insects, and nesting; autumn brings seeds and migration. Winter observation centers on tracks, exposed geology, conifers, bark, ice, and wind-shaped vegetation.

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 Montana. This regional page explains what viewers in Montana can look for and how geographic context changes an identification; it does not relabel footage from another location.
