Field Notes

Description:

The preceding gallery features photos of the undisputed champion dragonfly! This individual is perching on the sleeve of a friend’s Champion USA sweatshirt. Perhaps Project Noah can capitalize upon the product placement in my photos, given the recent addition of commercial advertisements embedded in spottings. ;-)

Habitat:

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