Canada (NOT! actually a Lance-tipped) Darner
For some reason, the meadows behind and above the Kennebunkport Land Conservancy buildings at Emmons Preserve are one the best places for darners in my patch of Southern Maine. I have seen at least 5 species there, though what species is dominant varies from year to year. Last year they were all Black-tipped. Some years Green-stripped. This year, mostly Canada. (since this is actually a Lance-tipped Darner, I am not so sure now 🙂 I have also seen the occasional Shadow there and Springtime. Green-stripped and Canada are hard to distinguish, and I am only mostly sure this is a Canada. I am willing to be corrected by those who know better. 🙂 There were many more darners in flight during my visit, including at least one smaller, darker darner, but this Lance-tipped is the only one I caught perching.
