2017 June 18--A Visit to Fords Pond, West of Sutherlin, Oregon
0635-0915. I spent the morning at Ford's Pond. It was in the 50s F when I arrived and in the 70s F when I left. My primary goals were (1) to begin getting some iNat observations for Ford's Pond, and (2) to see what odonates (dragonflies and damselflies) I could find. It was a fun morning. I spent the entire time in the SE portion of the area, about half in the riparian woods and about half poking around in the weeds and near the pond edge. I found and photographed many introduced plant species as well as a few native plants, a handful of odonates, some bullheads (mini-catfish), a spider, a butterfly, a ladybird beetle, an introduced slug, an aquatic snail, some lichens, some beaver chew, and a variety of other things. I netted one introduced crayfish, but it got away before I obtained photos. eBird checklist here.

Female? Immature male? I don't see any dusky tips to the wings. Do some of these not have that? Dark inner wing patches seem quite dark, more like male.

Photographed with Canon camera, then captured with net and photographed with phone. This individual is similar to the first one I photographed today, in that it has an abdomen pattern like a female, but has fairly dark wing bases, no white on wings, and no dark tips (tips are clear).

I'm guessing E. annexum, but sounds like they cannot be distinguished w/o images of the terminal appendages? My images are blurry in this area.

I'm new at IDing bluets and giving this one a try. Basing ID on distribution of black on top, and large eye spots. Is that white spot on top of the appendage the namesake spot or something else?
