bapeck8Description
Crown white rather than golden. Second time I've seen one. This one also has a broken black stripe that is reminiscent of a white-crown.

sandor_inDescription
I was wondering what they were doing around the gate post, since it didn't look like they were actually going into a nest. Then I noticed the ants:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/96841068
Apparently they were waiting for the larger winged ones to come up (3rd pic.). They would then grab these and carry them off to feed their larva.
Lots of photos to show the action, including the little ants trying to fight back (pic. 11).

rmyoshiharaDescription
It announces its return by hovering in front of us. Distinctive flight. This is something like the fifth generation of residents and it isn't spring without one. The narrow inner primaries support Archilochus versus Calypte. There will be many more observations and usually better photos.
