Radnor Lake State Natural Area, Nashville
This morning while birding at Radnor I saw a Painted Skimmer (Libellula
semifasciata) perched on a twig, in a sunny clearing by the trail. In Dennis
Paulson's book he states they are "usually associated with woodland", this
would describe the situation where I saw it at Radnor. And I checked my records
on the few others I have seen, and all have been in May, I guess you could say
this is an early-season species.
Yesterday at Beaman Park in north Nashville I had Com. Baskettails, a couple
of Springtime Darners, and an Ashy Clubtail.
