Common Green Darner (Anax junius)
Observed
Jade Clubtail (Arigomphus submedianus)
Photographed
Aside from all the expected species, this was a surprise. It flew past me and I immediately could see the contrasting brown and green pattern on the abdomen. I had to get my scope to find it on a log across the other side of the lake. At full 60 power, this was the best shot I could get with my phone held up to the scope. I could see it better with my eye on the scope. The brown striped light greenish abdomen with a brown club was obvious. I could also see a plain face.
