Saffron-winged Meadowhawk
Sympetrum costiferum
The Saffron-winged Meadowhawk (Sympetrum costiferum) is widespread across the northern half of the United States and southern Canada. The shot of a young female shown here was taken at Arnprior, Renfrew Co., Ontario, Canada, in July, 2005. The digital images were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens with a 2X extender and 580 EX flash.
The young male Saffron-winged Meadowhawk shown here was along the Yakima River in Benton Co., Washington in August, 2008. This image was taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender.
The mature male shown here was at the same location and the image was taken with the same equipment as the previous shot.
