Down in Texas near Austin trying to extend the dragonfly season as it is coming to a quick close in Pennsylvania. Got to photograph these Eastern Ringtail Dragons in a cactus garden at Hornsby Bend Environmental Area near the airport. A beautiful dragon but they like to perch on the ground mostly. Sometimes if you spook them they may perch up on a cactus, grass blade or barbed wire. Seldom do they perch up on a twig like many other species and you have a difficult time getting a nice background. The first two are females and the second two are males.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do hunting them. Have a great day!

Thanks so much Dave. Stills in Texas. Man is it cold. The dragons are flying. Got to meet up with my old friends to hunt them. They took me to some new places. Great time!
