I met this dragonfly this morning. Unfortunately, I don't know the name, and I don't yet have the book. Anyway, the name wasn't needed to make the encounter memorable.
The Flycatcher
To describe my lifelong fascination with flight and with creatures that fly I like to echo the words of John James Audubon who in 1839 wrote of himself as "...one who never can cease to admire and to study with zeal and the most heartfelt reverence, the wonderful productions of an Almighty Creator."
