Today I was leading a small group with the Rouge Park Odonate Survey. We have been surveying the park since late May and have seen many dragons and damsels. Unofficially (from what I remember), here is what we saw today:
Familiar Bluet
Stream Bluet
Northern/Vernal Bluet
Spotted Spreadwing
Amber-winged Spreadwing
Slender Spreadwing
Lyre-tipped Spreadwing
Four-spotted Skimmer
Twelve-spotted Skimmer
Widow Skimmer
Common Whitetail (M/F)
Black Saddlebags
Eastern Pondhawk (M/F)
Eastern Forktail (M/F)
Belted Whiteface
Dot-tailed Whiteface
Racquet-tailed Emerald
Common Green Darner
Ruby Meadowhawk
Cherry-faced Maedowhawk
No sedge sprites today.
and the highlight today was not a dragon or damsel but.....a Common Buckeye.
