Skimmer Day!

12 Spotted Skimmer, Slaty Skimmer, Spangled Skimmer, Emmon’s Preserve, Kennebunkport Maine

Though I was looking for Jewelwings along the Bascom River at Emmon’s Preserve, it turned out to be a skimmer kind of day, at least at the little pond between the meadows. I am probably still a week early for the Jewelwings. I saw two, maybe three, but they were so active that I could not get any pics. The Skimmers, 12 Spotted, Slaty, and Spangled, on the other hand, were more than cooperative, as skimmers generally are. I have layed the three dragons in over a background image of the pond itself.
