The past few days have been has hot and hunid as it gets in this neck of the woods. Despite the weather, I have headed out to look for odes on three occasions over the weekend.
On Saturday morning, I headed down the road on the Harris Center property near our house. I went as far as the beaver dam. The odes were few and far between, but they were there.
On Sunday morning, I walked up the unmaintained section of Brimstone Corner Road. The odes were very sparse… I saw exactly two dragonflies, both patrolling an old log yard well above head hight.
Sunday afternoon, I headed across the lake to camp and waded the shoreline. Again, the odes were sparse, but present.
The first three photos below were made on Saturday morning; the remainder on Sunday afternoon.

Why so few? Too hot?? Liked the “Dragon Hunter” – although the others weren’t too bad. Glad you are getting out with the camera. Mine is being dusted off frequently to keep the cobwebs from forming.

Could be the heat, but I don’t really know.
