...then on to the golf course in pursuit of odonates and other interesting stuff. Was really surprised to see 20+ Gambel's Quail. They were so scattered that the most I could capture on one photo were 6 (actually 5½).
Another most unexpected surprise was a Green Kingfisher, the first I've ever seen at Lajitas. It's in this mesquite tree overlooking a pond. Hard to spot. (Easier if you click on the photo to enlarge.) I got closer, but never could get a clear shot before it flushed.
Got one lifer dragonfly today, thanks to Kelly knowing what it was. I would have totally overlooked it, thinking it was a Flame Skimmer or something. So confusing. But it's a Red Rock Skimmer.
