Westbrook trail aka Greenway trail. This trail runs parallel to the Milwaukee River opposite Estabrook Park. I park at the back of the Holiday Inn parking lot and walk south.

Cobra Clubtail (Gomphurus vastus)
Netted and released
I found two but possibly up to four. I can't say for sure some were the same individuals reoccurring. All females. I found one male in 2022 in the exact location, (basically about 20-30 yards south of the trail head). In 2023, my timing was off or they were absent. The river is very high, so few places for them to catch sun beside perching on plants.
