Hello Tweeters,
It was to nice to ignore the sunshine today.So i went to Kitsap Co,to find some Dragonflies.Visiting the Mullenix Ponds and Sqare Lake,but this two areas wasn't to productive.I than visisit Weir's Lake and din't see any Dragonflies. This thinking of the Northern Goshawk i had there last year.So i decided to go for a walking in to the woods.This comming to an open Clear Cut where i already saw lot's of Dragonflies flying around.Some of them this emerged since there still was kind of soft.One of them was the Four spotted Skimmer what i already collected on April 29 of this year The other was the Dot-tailed Whiteface what is a new one for this year,but no record.The record is May 10th.Lot's of California Darners .
I also had all three species of Forktails:
Swift Forktail ( Ischnura erratica)
Western Forktail (Ischnura perparva) new for this year
Pacific Forktail (Ischnura cervula )
Western Red Damsel (Amphiagrion )
Boreal Bluet (Enallagma )
Interesting that both the Four-spotted and the Dot-tailed Whiteface only was females.This would be onother queston i have to ask Dennis Paulson wy i only had females.
