This is a Blue Dasher, I think I read somewhere, the most common dragonfly in North America. They love slow moving water and so, no surprise they were in abundance on the bayous of Louisiana.

I went out today looking specifically for a Black Saddlebags Dragonfly in flight. Saw not a one. But there must be 50,000 Blue Dashers and Darners at the lake. Identification was still problematic but ... this is Fred.

Two former Santa Fe 4-axle Dash 8s rest at the BNSF engine facility in Denver. The 573 is a standard cab B40-8, at the time one of the last ones left on the BNSF roster. The 521 is a B40-8W wearing the unusual large BNSF lettering over its Warbonnet paint. In the background, a loaded coal train makes its way south on the Joint Line.

This guy is still my best friend.

 

He's getting on up there in age, but he's still happy and healthy and loved.

A Blue Dasher in subdued light. He would dash in and out to this branch tip. Slow exposure for a moody effect.

The blue dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) is a dragonfly of the skimmer family. It is common and widely distributed in the United States.[1]

Mature males develop a bluish-white pruinescence on the back of the abdomen and, in western individuals, on the thorax. They display this pruinescence to other males as a threat while defending territories at the edge of the water.[2]

 

Mature male with blue-white abdomen and thorax

Although the species name longipennis means "long wings", the wings are not substantially longer than those of related species. Females do, however, have a short abdomen that makes the wings appear longer in comparison.[1] The blue dasher grows up to 25–43 mm long. Juvenile males will show female coloration before they turn blue. Females are paired with yellow stripes on the dorsal side of the first 8 abdominal segments, the part of the body that lies between the thorax and the pelvis and encloses the stomach, intestines, liver, spleen, and pancreas; more commonly known as the belly. Females are also reported to turn blue, but at a slower rate then the males

I don't like riding home with the lane to myself.

Usually have a pair or two of these goldfinches at the feeders, they add a nice splash of colour. I had a Yellow Warbler in the garden tonight, no picture though, hopefully it returns when I have my camera in hand.
