Was at Idewild WMA,not much. Drought conditions.
So to the park at Dover Bridge Park.
This was working overhead for half hour or more.
Best I could do.
This was fast.
The walk to the old bridge is marshy and wet both sides, tar and chip walk way, so dry, level walking.
No pictures, but, dozens of dragonflies.

I believe the last photo was out of a couple dozen.
Agricultural application of pesticides? Would not want to be down wind from this operation... Organophosphate are widely used here... think "nerve gas" etc. Organophosphate are now considered a causitive agent for Parkinson's and are best avoided...
The disappearance of many species have been linked to massive use of pesticides...
It's always a delicate balance albeit financial incentives typically override the brutal realities of our stewardship of this fragile tara firma.
Thank you for sharing... splendid lens work!
