Dragonflies can be tricky as they do see so well; sneaking up on one is nearly impossible. One must employ stealth and slow movements, and even the warier ones can often be approached closely.<BR/><BR/>Glad you are getting into the dragons, Kathi - they are very rewarding and well worth our admiration. As for references, Dragonflies Through Binoculars is good to start, as is a free booklet published last year by the Ohio Division of Wildlife entitled Dragonflies and Damselflies of Ohio. Just contact Wildlife about that one.<BR/><BR/>JimJim McCormachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444322057532066466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-25282057666323466662008-07-09T06:46:00.000-04:002008-07-09T06:46:00.000-04:00I just love these photos.

I was just thinking how good they are for dragonflies since I can't seem to get a picture of them they are worse than trying to take pictures of birds due to their flighty behavior. I guess it is those compound eyes that see you coming. I have always thought they could feel me approaching them.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-89553541134739457662008-07-08T23:30:00.000-04:002008-07-08T23:30:00.000-04:00Jim:I'm starting to get interested in dragonflies ...Jim:<BR/><BR/>I'm starting to get interested in dragonflies (and relatives) but need a good field guide.
