I am going to forward your message to an entomologist friend, but I wonder
if your "hornet" isn't a cicada killer wasp..a truly wonderful insect that
catches and kills large insects and caterpilars for its young. I am
shooting from the hip on this..but it seems there are two types of cicada
killers, one nests in the ground and the other inside walls, so maybe your
nest is attracting the wall nesting type. I am not sure if they would be a
threat to your birds or not. I have one that lives in the wall on my front
porch and have always rather enjoyed having her around...
...just a thought, are you sure this isn't some kind of dirt-dauber? When
you say "pod" is that pod made of mud?
