Yep. I always associate late August and September with Yellow Jackets. And I am guessing there is a nest in the ground somewhere below the tree and some kind of a sweet food source nearby. They are in Yellow Jacket heaven.
Watch your food and drinks…they love to get into glasses and cans. And of course always remember they are a pain in the butt, easy to get pissed off and unlike a honey bee, they can sting repeatedly.
Get a can of wasp spray. You may need it.
Other than the finch food, there isn’t anything sweet around (‘ceptin’ me).
Maybe commercial finch food is coated with honey or something???
