Observed this insect on a log in our backyard. Can anyone help me to identify it?

It's a wood wasp (family Siricidae) known as the pigeon tremex - http://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/insects/pigeon-tremex-horntail-and-the-giant-ichneumon-wasp-5-604/

Thank you! I tried looking in my bug book, and searching with descriptors on Google with no luck.
