Dragonflies are often misjudged by people who don’t know how important they are to their ecosystem. Dragonflies do not bite people (well, they can but you really have to irritate them a LOT for them to do it). In fact, in addition to their jewel-like beauty, they are very beneficial to humankind. Their prodigious mouth parts, in both their adult and larval forms, are designed to trap and devour insects. Aquatic larval dragonflies, called nymphs or naiads have lower jaws that can shoot out in 1/100 of a second to catch mosquito larvae (or even a tadpole). In many aquatic ecosystems without fish, dragonfly larvae are the top predators in the food chain. (The Order name of Dragonflies, and their cousins the Damselflies, is Odonata, meaning "toothy jaw".)
One of Maryland's most distinctive dragonflies is the Gray Petaltail. This species, considered rare in Maryland, is very large at 3 inches in length. Its gray and black coloring provides a very effective camouflage when it perches vertically on tree trunks.
Three of these Gray Jays flew to near the entrance to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park, a few minutes after I started walking the trail. I was hoping to find a few photogenic fungi this afternoon - fairly successful, but it was so warm and muggy there. The biggest "excitement", when my heart stopped beating for a moment, was catching sight of a large Moose passing through the forest!

The inside word from Dr. Campbell is that he is opening a campus in High Point Soon.
The Scarlet Sage (Salvia coccinea), is being attended by the gray butterfly. These flowers are also attended by sunbirds.

The Gray Hawk is a widespread small hawk of open habitats through much of the Neotropics. It is relatively uniformly colored overall, gray above and finely barred gray and white below. The tail is banded black and white, and the cere and legs are yellow-orange. Immatures are brown above and streaked white and brown below. The Gray Hawk occurs in river-edge habitats, forest edges and clearings, scrub, savanna, and agricultural land from Mexico and the southwestern United States south to northern Argentina. Birds at the northern end of the range in Mexico and the US are migratory, but the Gray Hawk is resident farther south. This species feeds mostly on reptiles, but also takes birds, rodents, and large insects. Gray Hawks typically hunt from a perch. Breeding birds engage in aerial courtship displays and build a stick nest in a tree or, in more open areas, in thorny shrub.

Coccyzus lansbergi
El Tambo, Santa Elena province, Ecuador.
A very seasonal species in Ecuador, probably migratory, but its movements are not understood. It appears to breed in areas of desert and dry forest during the rainy season, but seems to be absent from these areas in the dry season. Where they go is not known; it also occurs in parts of N Colombia and N Venezuela, and may migrate to those areas, but there is only circumstantial evidence to support this.
