This observation is for the Roseate Skimmer. The Common Green Darner record is at:
http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/4129874
Common Green Darner
Anax junius
&
Roseate Skimmer
Orthemis ferruginea
Stuck in mud. Probably the darner had captured the skimmer, but during their struggle they ended up in the soft mud, where they were stuck. The darner was still alive and as best we could tell was still feeding on the skimmer, despite these almost certain fatal circumstances for both.

Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) and Variegated Meadowhawk (Sympetrum corruptum).
Am I right on these species? Seems like an odd pairing.

This is my cue to stop taking shots and slowly back off the porch so Papa can deliver the tasty treats to hungry babies. Communication success.

There was a big movement of blackbirds today. We watched the male catch 2 Red-winged Blackbirds in the 15 minutes that we watched. It appeared to stash the first one on one of the towers at the lift bridge and then went back to hunting...
