Wow, two males now in the same area as last week. I found them at the bottom of the trail that leads south of the main trail and down to the kettle hole. There is some standing water here. One male likes to perch around the water, low. The other male pops in now and then. Several times they were flying very close to each other and they were not combative. I tried to get them both in one photo but I'm too slow.
