Description
In the last day or so, I have seen at least a half dozen different Dragonfly species. Several of those have been new captures for me but this is one species I see almost every year.
Common Green Darners are found in every state and southern Canada. They are rather large - 3" more or less. They seldom perch so I was lucky to get this shot. These Dragonflies often gather in swarms to feed as they fly several feet above the ground.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

Awesome capture! Never seen quite like this.
You seem to have many more species than we do here.
Very nice capture!
Your pov really points out the markings on the head so very well. Awesome shot.
Great capture...
Beautiful dragonfly - looks like a big eye between her real eyes.
