I didn't even realize until I downloaded these photos that the skies were full of dragonflies. The heron just kept circling above our pasture, which I'd never seen before. Usually they just fly over. I think he was eating his fill of dragonflies!

For Val (Mulewings) : I swear I'm not copying you, lol! It was a chance encounter... BTW, to tell the difference between a dragonfly & a damselfly: a dragonfly's eyes are set close together, a damselfly's eyes are set on either side of its head, and the dragonfly's wings will be spread out to the side (like above) while the damselfly's are folded in line with their body when at rest. Google rocks! :)

I get the feeling I'm being watched...

From what I observed, it looked as if this one was laying eggs. If so, the females are black, while the males are irredescent green or blue.
