Thanks for that link!<br /><br />Patrick--sure enough, Patrick. UK. Hmph.<br /><br />NCMtnWoman--interesting. That doesn't jibe with my personal prediction of a harsh winter this year, based on the early start of the migration. But then, I'm no meteorologist.

Most of the other red meadowhawk species have obvious black triangles all along their abdomens. It's also the species most likely to be active in October.<br /><br />By the way, that <a href="http://www.njodes.com/Speciesaccts/species.asp" rel="nofollow">NJ Odes site</a> has really useful ID notes for a lot of the species in our area.John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00163297234733313179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30103302.post-21904552588656541582010-10-10T17:44:30.548-04:002010-10-10T17:44:30.548-04:00Great photos.
