Widow Skimmer Dragonfly
Ferdy, I'm sorry I don't know the species of this dragonfly. I even looked it up in a book at the library I took it at. Anyway, I took it in Estacada, Oregon, 7/21/18. Exif data: Nikon D3100, Tamron 70-300, ISO 100, 1/500 sec., f/8 300mm. Also if anyone does know the species, let me know.
The Widow Skimmer is one of the group of dragonflies known as King Skimmers. The species can be found commonly across much of the United States and in southern Ontario and Quebec.
