Hello, Bill & I want to Texas in October. We had to move our trip up a couple of weeks earlier than initially planned to have a sitter, so it was still very, very warm! We were there October 4 to 11th. As a result, there D&D's everywhere! Here is a list of the 28 species I was able to identify. Of these, 13 were new species (**). I may have other 2 potential new ones (*), but I have to check my lists from last visit as I may have seen them in April. I also have some I couldn't identify. Any help would be appreciated. I've put those at the beginning of the gallery. The rest are in alphabetical order by common name for simplicity sake. If I have misidentified anything, please do let me know!!!! http://www.pbase.com/kristybaker/fall_dragonflies 5-Oct-14 5-Oct-14 5-Oct-14 6-Oct-14 Sabal Palms Sanctuary Resaca de la Palma TPWD Coastal Fisheries Field Station Hugh Ramsey Nature Park Brownsville, TN Brownsville, TX Brownsville TX Harlingen, TX Cameron County Cameron County Cameron County Cameron County Dragonflies Dragonflies Dragonflies Dragonflies Black Saddlebags Common Green Darner Amberwing sp Blue Dasher Blue-fronted Dancer Rainpool Spreadwing** Blue Dasher Blue-fronted Dancer Eastern Pondhawk Common Green Darner Common Green Darner Great Pondhawk Eastern Pondhawk Eastern Pondhawk Roseate Skimmer Four-spotted Pennant** Great Pondhawk Ramburg's Forktail* Pin-tailed Pondhawk Red-tailed Pennant** Roseate Skimmer Spot-tailed Dasher** Saddlebags sp Smoky Rubyspot** Spot-tailed Dancer Thornbush Dancer** 7-Oct-14 7-Oct-14 8-Oct-14 8-Oct-14 South Padre Island World Birding Center Convention Center Frontera Audubon Center Valley Nature Center South Padre Island, TX South Padre Island, TX Weslaco, TX Weslaco, TX Cameron County Cameron County Cameron County Cameron County Dragonflies Dragonflies Dragonflies Dragonflies Needham's Skimmer** Common Green Darner Band-winged Dragonlet** Common Green Darner Seaside Dragonlet** Red Saddlebags Eastern Pondhawk Desert Firetail** Pin-tailed Pondhawk Eastern Pondhawk Rambur's Forktail* Red Saddlebags Roseate Skimmer Slough Amberwing* Spot-tailed Glider Thornbush Dancer 8-Oct-14 10/9/2014 10-Oct-14 10-Oct-14 Edinburg Scenic Wetland National Butterfly Center Falcon County State Park Fronton Edinburg, TX Mission Tx Falcon Heights, TX Roma, TX Cameron County Hildalgo County Starr County Starr County Dragonflies Dragonflies Dragonflies Dragonflies Blue Dasher Eastern Amberwing Black Saddlebags Filigree Skimmer** Desert Firetail Double-striped Bluet Broad-striped Forceptail** Eastern Ringtail** Eastern Amberwing Great Pondhawk Common Green Darner Red Saddlebags Common Green Darner Powered Dancer Roseate Skimmer Roseate Skimmer Black Setwing Kristy Baker www.pbase.com/kristybaker Rockvale, TN Ruthervale, TN
