Rick,
Looks good for Shadow Darner: color and size of abdominal spots looks
right, and color and shape of stripes on side of thorax looks right, I think I
can see the distinctive "flags" flaring at the top of the stripes.
As of Marlene's last report of a couple of days ago, Shadow Darner and
Autumn Medowhawks still flying up your way in Carter County.

I flushed this darner from the side of my apartment when I got home this
afternoon Oct 26). It flew around for a few minutes and then perched about
12 feet up in a Colorado Blue Spruce. I'm tentatively identifying it as a
Shadow Darner. Any confirmation or hints to other id's would be appreciated.
