Painted Skimmer (Libellula semifasciata)
Photographed
One next to the trail sunning. This is just at intersection to the trail that descends into the bog to the south down where they were seen last year. That area is a depression with Tamaracks and minimal standing water. Strange that the eyes look blueish, probably the light and my bad photo.
