Dragonhunter (Hagenius brevistylus)
Photographed
The site was in an open, braided beaver meadow and pond complex, near the edge of the woods. When I first tried to get close enough for a photo this dragonfly took off and landed on my finger, before flying off. Within a minute or two it returned and landed on an old log, where I could take a few photos.
