Place

San Diego County, CA, USA (Google, OSM)

Description

This solitary bee was encountered excavating sand and small granitic particles from beneath this ~1-1.5" rock as I was descending the Borrego Palm Canyon Alternate Trail. I observed it for several minutes as it aggressively shoveled out small grains with its legs.
