Racket-tailed Emerald. Kennebunk Bridle Path, Kennebunk ME

Yes, well, green-eyed for sure. This is a Racket-tailed Emerald. There is at least one pair that inhabit a small pool beside the Kennebunk Bridle Path. They must successfully sow eggs in the pool every year, since I see them just like clockwork, emerged as adults, and busy about the business of dragonflies. They don’t perch a lot, and when they do, they favor out of the way nooks among leaves, so they are not easy to photograph. I was happy to get these.

Nikon P900 at 700mm equivalent field of view. 1/500th @ ISO 200 @ f5.6. Processed in Lightroom and assembled in Coolage.
