| The Black Meadowhawk (Sympetrum danae) is widespread across parts of the northern and western United States and much of Canada. The female shown shown here was in a wet meadow near a stream in the Malheur National Forest, Grant Co., Oregon, in July, 2008. This shot was taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender. |  |
| The female Black Meadowhawk on the right provided a first county record when I netted it in the Turtle Mountain area of Bottineau Co., North Dakota in July, 2011. |  |
| The teneral male Black Meadowhawk in the next four shots was near Buyck, Saint Louis Co., Minnesota, in July, 2011. These shots were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and a Sigma 50-500mm lens and Canon 580 flash. |  |
