Wildlife Spotting

I think galewhale is on to someting... I think it is a Meadowhawk dragonfly as well, yet there isn't enough for me to say it's a yellow legged. Mainly because there is the Saffron-winged that could potentially be in your area and they are very similar from the back. Thanks for the post, and best of luck to you!

That's better!! August.

It might be a Yellow-legged Meadow Hawk: Sympetrum vicinum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympetrum_vicinum Did it have a red body? Also do you have the sighting date right? Dragonflies in general aren't out and about until mid-summer through late fall
