It's a small dragonfly and there's no way I would ever have spotted it among the hordes present. Gotta hand it to Kelly.

Dragonflies galore
Since there are no interesting birds to watch at the oasis these days, Kelly Bryan took to inventorying the dragonflies... a task too daunting for me. He found an Eastern Amberwing. Apparently there's only one record for that species in Brewster Co. My photos aren't too good. I think Kelly took some better ones. Here's the best one I got.

Lovely photo, Carolyn! I am going to have our daughters (Elizabeth, 9 and Alayna, 7) subscribe to your blog on their iPads. They are really getting excited about the move to Terlingua and they love wildlife. It's a perfect fit!
We're actually trying to create an oasis there too, mainly focusing on native fauna. We want to setup a ton of water catchment (roof) and put a number of guzzlers around our property for the wildlife.
Looking forward to being your "neighbor".

Thanks, Chris.
Eastern Amberwing is our smallest NA dragonfly.
Wow, that's cool to know.
