Some Dragonflies of The Vermilon River



I really know nothing of dragonflies, except that they feed on insects such as mosquitoes, blackflies etc. This makes me a fan of dragonflies, and I think they're rather pretty. These dragonflies were shot in the fall so it must be around their last outing. In fact the last shot shows a dragonfly on a blueberry bush, which has already turned red.

  1. I had some small red dragonflies hanging round the ponds just a few weeks ago. That was the end of the line around here. I tried to get a decent shot but the Canon was loaded for bear with the 400mm on it. How's the migration going up there? Send me some birds!

  2. Gosh there aren't that many migrating birds left.The quick cold snap, about a week ago, did that I think with the quick freeze up.

  3. Dragonflies are great to watch and not easy to get close too.
    They have all gone from here, so it's nice to see these.

  4. Thanks Julian. I shot these guys quite late in the fall. Further east of here a dragonfly count was done this summer. I had never heard of such a thing before.
