In an earlier posting, Sex in the park, I said there would be a followup offering of other pictures from Grohman Narrows Provincial Park. This is it.
Painted Turtles are a staple of the pond in the summer. Some of these have peeling scutes. The dragonfly (a darner) that is approaching managed to pass the turtles without being eaten.
There was also a Green Comma,
and a Grey Catbird,
but the stars of late summer are the dragonflies. Here is a Canada Darner (?),
a Hudsonian Whiteface,
and copulating White-faced Meadowhawks (shown earlier were copulating Striped Meadowhawks).
