Spotted my first Blue Dasher - had my stick stuck out of the creek bank for the last 10 days thinking they should show up soon. That's the only spot I can get close enough to the creek (as long as I check for snakes first) so I help them along by providing a resting spot. They do like to return to the same spot over and over.
Amazing shot! So what DID you do to get it to follow your rules?! I've been chasing one in my garden/meadow for a week and not succeeded in getting anywhere near close! FAV
