100 yds from the start of the blacktop... just past the parking lot. Dragonflies were in the roadside ditch on the left side of the road.
Eastern Pondhawk (
Erythemis simplicicollis)
Photographed
Both male and female Pondhawks were observed.
Four-spotted Skimmer (
Libellula quadrimaculata)
Photographed
There were numerous Four-spotted Skimmers available for observing and photographing.
Slaty Skimmer (
Libellula incesta)
Photographed
When I viewed the dragonfly through my viewfinder I didn't know what it was... I actually thought it was a male Eastern Pondhawk . But Edgar Spalding from WOS verified that it was a slaty Skimmer.
Eastern Forktail (
Ischnura verticalis)
Photographed
This was an immature female and bright orange... I was hoping for a Orange Bluet but it was not to be.
Blue Dasher (
Pachydiplax longipennis)
Photographed
