Hagen's Bluet
Enallagma hageni
The Hagen's Bluet (Enallagma hageni) occurs across the northern U.S. and parts of Canada. It is quite similar in visual characters to the even more widespread Familiar Bluet (Enallagma civile) and care is needed to separate the two in the field. The first two shots here were taken in July, 2004, at Cardinal Marsh in Winneshiek Co., Iowa with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 180 mm F/3.5 macro lens with a 2X extender and 550 EX flash.
The next shot was taken near the Englehart River, Timiskaming Co., Ontario, Canada, in July, 2005, with the same camera as above but with an EF 300mm F4 L IS lens and 2X extender.
The next 4 shots of Hagen's Bluet were taken in Broome Co., New York, in July, 2009, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and an EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and 580 flash.
The next 2 shots of a male were taken at Buzzard Swamp, Allegheny National Forest, Forest Co., Pennsylvania, in June, 2010, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and an EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and 580 flash.
The pair of Hagen's Bluets in copula shown here was taken near Bethel, Oxford Co., Maine, in June, 2010, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and an EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and 580 flash.
