Likewise, I'm seeing fewer meadowhawks around here this year. No idea why.
On Oct. 20 I went to check on an old pond where I found a population of
Blue-faced Medowhawks a couple of years ago. At that time it was an old
dried-up pond bed (just post drought years '07 - '08), this year it was full
of
water. It even had a couple of carp splashing in the middle of the pond!
They must have washed in with the flood this spring. No Blue-faced but a few
Autumn Meadowhawks were present. I wonder if Blue-faced only use completely
fishless sites.
At a near-by slightly bigger, and more stable pond were: Familiar Bluet,
Orange Bluet, Fragile Forktail, E. Amberwing, Blue Dasher and Com. Pondhawk,
all in pretty worn condition.

Meadowhawks have been nonexistent here this fall. The ponds I usually see
them around are almost dry so maybe that has something to do with it.
