I went to the same place 3 weeks in a row and found 3 different darners.
This is a Variable Darner Aeshna interrupta. While looking this guy up in my book I came across the Spatterdock
Darner. The name got stuck in a loop in my head and stayed there all day!

I found Shadow Darners Aeshna umbrosa in a few different areas.

A close up of his head, the color has been enhanced here but only slightly.

Just to show you how jaded I've become, I caught a dragonfly the other day
but it was only a Shadow Darner. Only a Shadow Darner! You should have seen how excited I was to catch
the first one! Next year I'm gonna catch one of those Spatterdock Darners... agghh there it is back in my head, Spatterdock....spatterdock
spatterdock...
