Are these wasps? #806193

Asked August 14, 2022, 2:16 PM EDT

These insects have made a nest next to a window sill.  As you can see in the photo the lower portion, the nest is gray.  I want to be sure these are wasps before I dispose of them.  Thank you.

These look like aerial yellowjackets.  See https://webdoc.agsci.colostate.edu/bspm/arthropodsofcolorado/Yellowjackets.pdf for some details.
