Blue-eyed Darner (Rhionaeschna multicolor)Observer
loriprospectlakeDescription
I think this is a dragonfly, with the brilliant blue metallic colour. However, Blue emperor dragonflies are found in Europe, Africa & Asia; my husband suspects it is a damselfly, b/c the wings are symmetrical & equal in size. Thanks for your time!

Sooty Grouse (Dendragapus fuliginosus)Observer
loriprospectlakeDescription
Round brown placid bird flew onto truck hood, not 15 feet from me; sat a while, then flew to garage roof, where I took these photos. Spotted again, three properties over from us. Can't see tail feathers, could this be a Spruce grouse, Ruffed grouse or Sooty grouse?
