New-to-me dragonfly

My first dragonfly that is *not* a "skimmer" (family Libellulidae). It's a "Shadow Darner," in the "darner" family (Aeshnidae). This dragonfly can probably be found in the area where I live, but I haven't seen one in the several years I've been paying closer attention to bugs. Photo taken in Salem, Massachusetts.

ID’ed at BugGuide as “Aeshna umbrosa” or “Shadow Darner”; https://bugguide.net/node/view/1612688

I've never seen one like this either, not even in photos until just now.
