What creature made this mess?
that just looks like snow on the ground from Ohio…
Woodpecker.
???maybe?
Looks like Scott’s been a busy beaver!
???No.
Did someone use a hand planer on some cedar shakes to trim them down?
Looks like carpenter ant frass. IMHO:
Does not look like from insects
Uncle Bob cutting wood in the snow?
That would be a dull chainsaw, Joe…but possible.
I agree with Michael about a planer being used since there are wood “curls”.
Where do you see curls? the pic is very low resolution and can barely make out what’s there
Yes, low resolution. Tell me what you think. I may be wrong.
Squirrels
OK, Guys, it was me who made the mess weaving the corner on this wood shingle house, when I was done I thought that would make a good mystery pic to post on the forum and see if we could get some laughs out of it. Thanks for playing along.
Now you can pick it apart.

You are a sly dog, Scott!
I should have said Uncle Scott cutting wood in the snow!
Busy Beaver!
Looks great from here.
