Thank you, Liz! Aaron8 - cool, thank you!!!
Aarongunnar
it's a female meadowhawk (genus: Sympetrum), which can be tough to get to species ID. Most likely cherry-faced (S. internum) or Jane's (S. janae).
Dan Doucette
That's okay. I look forward to seeing more shots.

Thank you! I have more dragon shots, but only got one shot of this one.
Dan Doucette
Great shot! Do you have any more of this one? Welcome to Noah.
