Please don't kill these beautiful birds!
We have a crabapple tree in our yard with the trunk covered in sapsucker holes. It has been thirty years and it is still going strong.
Here is a pro-bird link that you might find interesting, and it also talks about mitigating measures such as a previous poster mentioned, like wrapping with burlap, etc.

Great shots! Our trees all have linear sets of small round holes that circle the trunk, in many places! Thanx for sharing.
