In a small partially shaded pond that was lined with American bur-reed and other emergent vegetation; on private property just south of Jonas Ridge. - One male netted, photographed and released; other two perhaps males as well. Exhibited dart and hover behavior, typically hovering for only 1-3 seconds, making flight photos very difficult. |
