Hello Michael,
I like to respond of you queston, but i am far away to be the Expert. I got
in to this most fascination hobby i ever had. It makes me feel good to see
more birders getting in to this hobby. I am also so lucky to have Dennis
Paulson helping when i needed help. So much praise for him to beeing so
kind.
OK now to the queston. I ask the same queston last year; I was seeing the
brightest Red Dragonflie verry bright red. This was the SYMPETRUM illotum
common name:Cardinal Meadowhawk(i took photos of thies species) this was my
first Dragonflie. But i will not saying this is what you had, it is in the
Sympetrum family. It's getting verry late in the season there for i say the
Sympetrum corroptum Common name Variegated Meadowhawk. This is all what
mostly i been seeing this weekend when i went to Ocean Shores. But with no
photos and more details this is a guessing. It also coud be a Sympetrum
pallipes common name:Striped Meadowhawk, this are all red Dragonflies, so
is hard to tell . but it is A sympetrum species.
