Index of Subjects <html> <body> Shadow Darners without a doubt. I have saw them into Nov. but not this late. They can be quite common in Oct. so no surprise to find them in Nov.<br> Angus<br><br> At 12:52 PM 18/11/2009, you wrote:<br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">At 11:21 PM 17/11/2009, you wrote:<br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><font size=2>However, there is one later flying darner species and that is the Common Green Darner (Anax junius) which flies past mid-Nov, again in Mass. These two species should be fairly easy to distinguish even in flight however since A. junius has an all green thorax (no thoracic stripes which most darners show) and a different abdominal pattern. Noteworthy is the fact that this latter species is also often the first species seen in the spring (late April); these are the migrants from the south.</font></blockquote><br> I'm familiar with the Common Green Darner, and saw the bugs well enough to rule out that species, so I'm guessing the two were Shadow Darners. I'll try the same area again later, and maybe I'll be lucky with photos.<br><br> Cheers,<br><br> Blake<br><br> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> Blake Maybank<br> maybank@ns.sympatico.ca<br> 902-852-2077<br><br> Editor, "Nova Scotia Birds"<br> <a href="http://nsbs.chebucto.org" eudora="autourl"> http://nsbs.chebucto.org</a><br><br> author, "Birding Sites of Nova Scotia"<br> <font color="#0000FF"><u> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/birdingns" eudora="autourl"> http://tinyurl.com/birdingns</a><br> </u></font>Downloadable Nova Scotia Maps for inside front and back covers:<br> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/mr627d" eudora="autourl"> http://tinyurl.com/mr627d</a> <br><br> White's Lake, Nova Scotia, Canada </blockquote></body> </html>
