Can any bee people explain what this bee is doing? She’s been almost hovering like this in front of our deck for 15+ minutes! I *think* it’s a carpenter bee but I’m not confident (SW Ontario)

Saw a few new lifers I saw while in Phoenix for #EntSoc24
Great-tailed Grackle (m&f), Curve-billed Thrasher, and a Verdin (not pictured)
A female Great-tailed Grackle sits on a concrete curb of a parking lot. Her back faces the camera with her head turned to the side, showing off her bright eye A male Great-tailed Grackle sits in a twisted tree, his side towards the camera A Cruve-billed Thrasher sits on top of a large tree, the photo is very zoomed so the quality is poor

Last week I presented by preliminary data on #Syrphidae migration in #SWOntario at @entsocamerica.bsky.social ‘s #EntSoc24

It was such a great experience and I met so many incredible researchers!
