There appear to be more Odonata this summer than last. The overall numbers of each species seems higher and I have seen several new (to me) species. Of course the other thing that seems higher is the number of birds hunting the same ponds I hunt 🙂 I guess it stands to reason.

Last week I found a small flock of Cedar Waxwings hunting the pond at Quest. They were flying out from the trees at the edge of the forest and taking mostly the little dark dancer females of which we seem to have an inexhaustible supply. Taking them out of the air of course.
