Still, I have been stuck trying to identify a dragonfly I photographed in 2010. I know how intense some birders can be), I can tell you from experience that there are some exquisite, stunning odonates flying around there. The dragonfly photo I have been puzzling over since 2010 turned out to be a Black-winged Dragonlet andromorph!
