Last Saturday, June 12, we had the first annual Dragonfly Day at  Warriors 
Path State Park, in Kingsport. Organized by myself and park naturalist  
Marty Silver, the event was a success with aprox 12 attendees, good-enough  
weather (it only rained hard before and after the field session), and all got 
to 
 see and photograph some good bugs. The star attraction, Cherokee Clubtail, 
 finally made an appearance and was seen well by most.
Marty is threatening to do this again next year, in some fashion.
 
List from memory of odonates for the day:
Fragile Forktail
Familiar Bluet
Stream Bluet
Blue-fronted Dancer
Blue-tipped Dancer
Cherokee Clubtail -1 male, 2 probable females
Dragonhunter
Black-shouldered Spinyleg
Blue Dasher
Com. Whitetail
Slaty Skimmer
Widow Skimmer
Spangled Skimmer (the most photographed ode)
 
Richard Connors
