Autumn Meadowhawk

[Andrew Lamberson]

I am finally able to get in and out of the car after my knee surgery and I headed straight over to the Trempealeau National Wildlife Area in pursuit of a Red-Headed Woodpecker shot. I saw two...flying over at high speed, but I did get some decent shots of an Autumn Meadhawk with my 300PF.

Is that a Sympetrum species?

Nice shots Andrew!
Is that a Sympetrum species?

Yes it is.

Thanks for all the nice words guys. Not bad for a guy limping through the prairie with a cane in one hand and the camera in the other!

Thank you for posting on my thread. This is the kind of lighting with flash I am after. Subtle but doesn't look like flash.
