Blue Dasher

Blue Dasher Male
Dragonflies seem as large as birds after shooting damselflies.  I have been seeing this kind of  dragonfly for a week or more.  They love to perch on a broken reed as shown and will return to the same one multiple times.  If they leave, just keep watching for their return.  This one is probably a male.  I read that the females look more like the male as they age.  They have brown eyes and brown thorax. 

Blue Dasher Female
They are everywhere at Gorman.

Blue Dasher Male
They frequently assume a position (shown above) called an "obelisk."
