Sunset Park. I park in the big lot near the boat launch. Walk along the edge of the water and vegetation along the creek all the way to and around the pond. I then loop back and go up the stairs that go to the pavilion. walk the tree line on either side up there then head down to the edge of the river and continue back to the parking lot. Easy walk and usually yields decent sights.

Eastern Forktail (Ischnura verticalis)
Observed
Common Baskettail (Epitheca cynosura)
Observed
Seen two flying overhead. Attempted flight shot, no good result.
Stygian Shadowdragon (Neurocordulia yamaskanensis)
Photographed
Was not sure what I had seen, but consulted a couple experts and cross referenced guides and this site. This was an Ode I dreamed of seeing someday, but really had no idea I’d get one this close to home on a casual late morning stroll. Awesome moment!
