Hi Phoebe,
This looks like a male Eastern Cicada Killer. Typically they will alight on a surface and stake out little territories that they will defend from other males in the hopes that a female cicada killer will wonder by. I wouldn't be surprised if you have more cicada killer wasps around.
Thanks for reporting this.
