Shadow Darner (Aeshna umbrosa)
Photographed
Seen 6 total, but photographed only 1 female that actually landed on my pant leg pocket! Unfortunately my phone was in that pocket and my big lens wasn’t cutting it. She thankfully flew just a few feet to the bridge and perched nice. Seen 5 males along creek but no cooperation for photos.
