Field Notes

Description:

The preceding photo shows a male Great Blue Skimmer dragonfly flying off his perch -- a remarkable stop-action photo for an iPhone 3GS camera! I uploaded this spotting in order to inspire owners of better cameras/lenses to upload some of their photos/videos of dragonflies and/or damselflies in mid-air.

Habitat:

Huntley Meadows Park, a 1,425 acre wetland area in Fairfax County, Virginia USA. Related Resource: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/huntley/
