Thanks so much, Richard. I'll look it up. Are there county checklists for
odonates in Tennessee online anywhere? I've seen your great photos. I'm
going to be out as much as possible this summer photographing dragonflies
and I'm sure I'm going to come across many I don't know. In fact, I know
very few as I've spent most of my time outdoors as a birder. Pretty exiting
starting out with something you don't know crap about again!
