Blue-eyed Darner

The Blue-eyed Darners are out flying at Little Cranberry Lake—in fact, they're the only darners flying there right now. They're also perching in the bushes, posing for pictures. Here's a male, showing off his unique forked appendages. That, plus his intense blue eyes and side stripes, make identification very easy.

It was windy, but we saw one flying into the wind as it did three splash-dunks following by a nicely visible spin-dry.
