DRAGONFLIES AND DAMSELFLIES FOR BIRDERS

 






Escape into nature part 1: Dragons and damsels. Visited 5 wetland areas on Sunday and saw some beautiful dragonflies and damselflies. They are the "flycatchers" of the insect world, darting out to catch smaller insects. The males often patrol stream and pond banks in a territory, waiting for females to mate with. Such amazing creatures! When the birding slows down in the middle of the day get out your binos and camera! Learn all about them in our Stokes Beginner's Guide to Dragonflies
