I mentioned the state-listed threatened dragonfly in this post after I found a small population at the Trout Brook Valley Conservation Area this summer. Jim took the shots a few years back. Sure enough, the area where he recalled taking it was very close to the Tiger Spiketail population. Fortunately, for the most part, losing one or two dragonflies is not overly harmful to a population, but in the future, we may have to erect signage for the birds and request that they make their meal selections from the other dozens of dragonfly and damselfly species found on the property. Thanks for sharing, Jim!
