The sighting reminded me that I neglected to report on the various odes I found at the small barachois pond at Wagner's beach this past Thursday. Wagner's Beach is near Prospect, with the following map showing the location: http://maybank.tripod.com/BSNS/Change/HRM-C.htm#update I went to the beach to pick the last of the season's blackberries, but also took along my net and field guide. There mating meadowhawks and spreadwings which I left alone, but I caught a male Black-tipped Darner, a Common Green Darner, and a male Familiar Bluet. The Darner and the Bluet were both lifers for me. There had earlier been some Twelve-spotted Skimmers, but there was no sign of them on Thursday. Birds, however, were scarce -- the winds were from the wrong quarter.
