For the past several days I have seen Springtime Darners on the creek at Ellington Ag. Cntr., several males patrolling the larger open pools. This early spring does not seem to be affecting the odes like it has the butterflies. Dragonfly and damselfly activity seems to be more on a "normal" schedule, at least that's what I have observed on my rounds so far; not quite as in-full-bloom as the butterflies are already. I expect the odeing to pick up dramatically in the next couple of weeks. Richard Connors Nashville
