This dragonfly is listed in Dragonflies and Damselfies of Northeast Ohio under "Accidental and Historical Species."
The book states that "This species is known to stray from its South Texas haunts." I had never seen one and would not have identified it without the picture. The large spot on the rear wings caused it to look larger than it is while in flight. It flew by me and landed on the reed. I used my Sigma 50 - 500 mm lens for the shots. I approached it like I would a bird taking a shot every few steps.
I hope that Judy Semroc and Larry Rosche see this.
