It's very strange that there are more meadowhawks now at the end of their flight season than at the start of it. But still not as many as in previous years. Could the water temperatures have gotten too high for the nymphs?

Later it was identified. :-)

Was a hard to find spec in the sky with the naked eye, but it wasn't moving very fast. Saw a commercial jet fly past below it.
