North Country explorer from Smithtown, NY
I spent the afternoon watching dragonflies and damselflies from my kayak. A Chalk-fronted Corporal (Libellula julia) kept landing on my hat--the highest point in the wetland. I could hear the flicker of its wings as it landed, but I couldn't see it, so just after it took flight I transfered the hat to my extended paddle. When it returned, it hovered over my head for a few seconds then perched on the hat in its new location. Finally a good look at this beauty.
