So Early in the Season

but in three hours today at Lake Cheston and the small Day Lake Road pond, I saw 24 species: Comet Darner, Common Green Darner, Carolina Saddlebags, Southern Sprite, Eastern Amberwing, Common Whitetail, Common Baskettail, Eastern Pondhawk, Widow Skimmer, Spangled Skimmer, Golden-winged Skimmer, Slaty Skimmer, Blue Corporal, Blue Dasher, Lancet Clubtail, Fragile Forktail, Violet Dancer, Powdered Dancer, Calico Pennant, Banded Pennant, Double-ringed Pennant, Azure Bluet, Amber-winged Spreadwing, and one county record -- the Unicorn Clubtail.

This is going to be a very good year indeed.
