Thanks for the ID, Cliff
This species isn't found around my home near the southern tip of Ontario, but is apparently common in Algonquin Park (where I took the photo), according to the distribution map here [Algonquin is located just below the left end of the kilometre scale in the picture].

Image moved from Clubtails to G. adelphus page, and some info added to the Guide.

Nice shot by the way.

One of the Hylogomphus
And judging from your location, I would say Gomphus adelphus (Mustached Clubtail).
