Late Season Odes, Down Back

Filed under: Odontates,Summer,The Yard — Tags: , — Frank @ 10:30 PM

Yesterday afternoon I headed “down back” to the beaver-made wetland at the back of our property.

I was expecting to find the usual late-season odes… autumn meadowhawks and a number of the spreadwings. Although the numbers of individuals were small, there was a nice variety of species present.

I observed a total of three meadowhawks (all female) and about a dozen (total) of the three species of spreadwings.

  1. The Odes are back! and, back with a statement!!

    These are incredibly sharp, Frank! Your techniques has improved immensely over the past few years. The Spotted Spreadwing best demonstrates what I saw. From the head to the tail is all in focus!
    All of these are worthy of mounting for another exhibit run!
