Dragonfly Photos

Almost all these photos were taken in conservation areas, so the subjects were not collected after the photo. I believe that the identifications are correct, and would appreciate a note from you if you feel that they are wrong.

The dated photos are each the earliest records for the province of Ontario that I can find. They were all taken at one location, a sand ridge in the Mer Bleue wetland south-east of Ottawa.
