My Column: State Line Hawk Watch

I received two answers for yesterday's mystery — European Hornet and Cicada Killer Wasp.
When I first saw the insect, I thought Cicada Killer, but it seemed small. It had been ID'd on the walk as a possible Queen Bee.
I think I'll go with European Hornet unless I hear otherwise. Congrats to Patrick Carney for the likely correct answer.
