The Bird Days of Summer: Intro to Dragonflies *FULL*
Enter the wonderful world of dragonfly-watching on this beginner walk at one of the area’s richest dragonfly hotpots! Over 90 species of odonates (dragonflies and damselflies) have been found in Oregon, many of them right here in the metro area. We’ll introduce you to the life history and ecology of these amazing flying mosquito-eaters as we amble along streams and wetlands, seeking skimmers and saddlebags, darners and dancers, pondhawks and meadowhawks, and more! Through binoculars, the technicolor wonder of these fascinating creatures really pops! Of couse, we’ll stop to admire birds and butterflies as well.
