Nice list, Harold. I was at Phipps Bend in Hawkins County today and had a
pair of Halloween Pennants in tandem and ovipositing. I barely caught a
poor photo of the pennants in flight (they did not stop or even slow down).
Also saw:
Eastern Pondhawk (M and F)
Spangled Skimmer
Slaty Skimmer
Widow Skimmer
Common Whitetail
Blue Dasher (M and F)
Band-winged Meadowhawk (M and F)
Halloween Pennant (M and F)
and several unidentified dragonflies and damsels
