Texas Gardening: Anyone Know What Is Causing These Holes In My Tree?, 1 by sweetmommy

I've just noticed these and they look pretty bad. Each opening is at least 2-3 inches wide. I know that it's not a woodpecker. Can borers make holes this big? I lost a very old Post Oak to those a couple of years ago & would hate to lose this old guy. I think it's a Hackberry. The second image is of the tree which doesn't show any signs of distress,yet.
I'm sorry. I still haven't figured out how to flip the photos!
