A Dragonfly was kind of a disappointment.

The species of dragonfly is unfamiliar to me. Would you happen to know what it is?

| July 2, 2009 @ 8:54am | Curt, the dragonfly might be a 4-Spot. The upper wings look right, but I can't see the lower wings - if they have similar spots, too, it's probably a 4-Spot.
I didn't know these birds would eat dragonflies. It's amazing it could catch one. I like your capture very much.

| July 8, 2009 @ 10:59pm | Let's see now--dragonflies eat lots of mosquitoes, and if you are what you eat, that means dragonflies must taste like...aw, forget it. No regrets from the egret, though.
Your extra attraction of this diet supplement really helps lift the shot out of the standard bird portrait. Congrats, and thanks for sharing it.
