Bloom of damselfies

For whatever reason there's a huge increase in damselfly numbers at the ponds in Alpine.

Yesterday at the oasis there were only a couple of hummers left. The previous week it was obvious by their revved up all day activity at the feeders that they were tanking up for departure.

Here's a Canyonland Satyr that I photographed in the Davis Mountains a few days ago. Not a lifer but still enjoyable to see.

Tomorrow evening I'm gonna try to photograph the eclipse with my mountain below it. And by the way, my binoculars dried out and are none the worse for the wetting.
