While in the shop this morning cleaning rust off tobacco knives with a drill
mounted wire brush, a Cicada Killer Wasp kept buzzing all around me. I assumed
I had set something over its hole and returned everything I could remember
moving back to its original spot. I didn't notice a hole while doing this, but
it seemed to satisfy the wasp, which then went on its merry way. A little while
later it returned with a Cicada and carried it down a hole under a table. I
noticed a similar hole in a different location and wondered if it had two
holes. A while later a black wasp almost as big as the Cicada Killer came in
carrying a Katydid, went in the other hole and pulled the katydid down behind
it. I'm thinking this could count as a bird post since both wasps were nearly
as big as hummingbirds.
