Neighborhood Dragonflies

Dragonflies and Damselflies are in full swing on my neighborhood creek. I didn't realize how much I'd missed them since last summer until I went out on April 2 a few days ago to start a Pond Watch and returned on April 11 (yesterday). I documented 15 species of odonates and 3 of those were lifers! I encourage anyone to read about the Migratory Dragonfly Partnership citizen science projects and get involved. Pond Watch is easy and fun once you learn how to identify the 5 species that the project tracks. And there are so many others to learn and observe as well! Attached are my odonate observations from those two days.
