Saffron-winged Meadowhawk? - 20 Aug 2009


I digiscoped this little 'lady' last week up in Charlevoix Co. I've been unable to ID it until now(?).


I found a couple of references to a Saffron-winged Meadowhawk (Sympetrum costiferum). Apparently the males are red, and the females are yellow. My little friend here seems to match the description for a female. So, until I am corrected, I'll go w/ this ID for now!
