On Monday I asked:

What critter made these marks on this tree along the Ramapo River in Mahwah?

I received several answers, ranging from Pileated to beaver...

A guy using iNaturalist who showed the tree said the damage was done by a porcupine... I think he's right.

By the way, do not do a search for "porcupine tree" on Google.
