Bluish Dragonfly - Leucorrhinia proxima

Bluish Dragonfly - Leucorrhinia proxima
Voyageurs National Park, St. Louis County, Minnesota, USA
July 29, 2016
These were in fairly boreal forest habitat. This individual was flying around where there was a slight clearing with some sunlight coming through (both pictures should be same individual, had to chase it though!). That seemed to be their habit: sit on some low vegetation in a patch of sunlight, flying up and around clearing at intervals. No size estimate available, but they were not huge.

Thanks!
Thank you! Looking through the information I have here to find out more. Is there any way to tell which one? I am not a dragonfly person.
