Carpenter Bees / Woodpecker / something else?

So I just noticed these holes in the exterior of my cabin. They are barely less than 1/2" around. We've had carpenter bees and those holes IIRC are larger in diameter and show higher precision; so I'm leaning torward woodpecker. We know there are woodpeckers in the area (Midwest). However - I'm no expert - any thoughts on:

  1. What caused these holes?

  2. How to fix/repair these holes?

My only thought on repair is plugs & glue. Anything better?
