Green bee or wasp

A black swallowtail hovered around the rue, laying eggs at this time of year?  A very dark skipper fed on one of the portulaca flowers.  And much later a dark butterfly got a drink and left.

I've been hunting one of these for years! But now I'm unsure if it was a cuckoo wasp or a sweat bee

A fungus popped out of the leaf litter under the oak in the same spot as previous years.  Birds were scarce, but I saw a kingfisher on a dock piling.
