I can tell you with 100% certainty it is wood peckers after insect larvae.. That palm has Rot and you have no choice in the matter..you will have to cut it down sooner rather than later, especially with the hurricane season coming.

Looking @the photos it is well on it's way..more than likely one or more woodpeckers are after the food.

Start looking for a tree person.
