Dashing Blue - in flight Dragonfly
I'm beginning to think Dragonfly identification is perhaps even more difficult that Bird ID. This one has more segmented colouring on the abdomen than the majority of blue dragonflies I see ( which I thought were either Western Pondhawks or Blue Dashers). This one is larger overall but since it was in flight it is tough to get an accurate sense of relative size.and I'm thinking it is a darner - But there are a lot of darners! Subarctic looks close but eye colour is blue not green.
Sorry for the newbie confusion. Clarification always welcome.
