Open foothill shrub habitat on a north-facing slope. Recently burned area (Creek Fire in 2020). On California black oak. I have a close-up video of it calling if anyone is interested

Might be vandykei but I couldn't get a visual

@easmeds could you help me with the ID?

Accidentally caught a yellowjacket when I netted this one, which made for a rather painful surprise when I went to grab it.

Seemed to enjoy the talus rocks up here.

Calling from high up in oak and bay.

What is it? Anyone?

Loud, in a tree.
