Are these just tree holes?

The Keebler elves reportedly hang out in hollow trees where they bake cookies, wafers and enter by such holes... That is, that's what advertisers say... Maybe a whiff of chocolate ? Small, tiny voices within?
Wow, now I get it. I'll definitely have to check that out! The squirrels may not like the cookies, but I sure do!

My mum told me the holes are where the fairies live.
That's interesting, maybe that is why there is such magic up there!

I do know that number 4 is the work of Woodpeckers. Probably Pileated Woodpecker, or, as we call them
in Western NC "Woodhens". I've seen the same shape on trees they were working on.
This photo from the internet. Number 5 could be from the same culprit.

I've never seen a square tree hole before. From a Pileated or any other bird. It doesn't look natural to me. But maybe something came along and took advantage of it to hollow out the inside after the hard work was done!
