Dragonfly - Erythemis collocata
Tule elk reserve., California, USA
September 1, 2011
Sorry about the vagueness of the location but we were on a birding tour of California and had stopped somewhere near Tule elk reservoirs after seeing some Western meadowlarks from the vehicle. This Dragonfly was on a roadside pond there.
