The little forktails would be about the first odes to show up, Fragile Forktail
and Citrine, as Doug suggests, in any really sheltered and south-facing
wetland. I wouldn't start looking myself until March, but in the right habitat
with the right weather, it's possible. Of the dragons Com. Baskettail is
probably first, along with Stream Cruiser and Uhler's Sundragon; Com. Green
Darner can be early, too. Things won't really get cranking until April, then
many others would be active; Blue Corporal is an early one, also.
It won't be long now, we'll see what the weather does in the next few weeks.

You might be able to find Citrine Forktails flying today.

Greetings all,
After a long winter's absence, what are the first dragonflies we might expect
to see in northeast Tennessee (Sullivan and Hawkins Counties) and when might we
expect them? Had my first Tree Swallows locally this morning (Feb 22) and made
me start thinking about dragonflies. Thanks.
Rick
