I've had fresh Blue-faced around mine and my neighbors ponds and the ponds are
full of bass and bluegill. I've never actually seen them emerging but they were
fresh enough that their wings weren't completely dried out so I have to think
that they came out of those ponds.

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.
