Sympetrum pallipes
These are quite small. Not quite 1.5". I was trying to get a shot of a kingfisher & took these ( and the Spreadwing Damsel) with the long lens. I went home to get a macro lens & of course they had all left. Including the bird. (as well as the light)

What a wonderful set Victor. Excellent detail and you've caught all the field marks for IDing this guy. Thanks for sharing your fine work.

Really beautiful dragonfly shots, Victor!
Sometimes we have to work with what we have at hand. Nicely done.

Very well done, Victor. Nice detail and sorry you missed the kingfisher but not all was lost with these to show!
All beautiful, Victor! Great shots!
Thanks you all, Donna,Corolyn,Bob,kpmac,Sue,Joe,Greg & Earl and especially Doc for your advise, help, and list of books for identifying these fascinating subjects.
Excellent shots even without your macro lens.
Thank you very much James.
