Park with pond and creek running through it

Swamp Darner (Epiaeschna heros)
Photographed
Got a photo of one swamp darner, but there were several others flying close enough to see the markings and identify. The following day I looked at one through the viewfinder and it took off just before I got the shot, but I got a very good look at it.
