I stopped at the drainage ponds at Southern Maine Medical Center here in Kennebunk Maine to see if there were any Odonata around. This has not been a very abundant summer for dragons or damsels, but I found several mating pairs of Spotted Spreadwings in the reeds and brush around the pond.

Maine! Greater Stopover

Greater Yellowlegs: York County Maine, USA, August 2024 — We only see the Yellowlegs during migration in Maine…mostly in the late summer and fall when they are on their way south from the Canadian nesting grounds. We see way more Greater than Lessor for some reason. In my experience, they like the marshes along the tidal rivers well behind the dunes. This is my first of the season.
