Spotted in the Ottawa wildlife refuge in Ohio, USA

Do they just find holes in trees that are perfectly sized or do they make them?

They have to find them. This is one of the many reasons it is important to preserve old trees, and why planting a new tree == saving an old tree.

It can take a forest about 100-200 years to get “broken in” enough to support a functioning ecosystem.
