Identifying and Appreciating Dragonflies

Presented by Ryan Jacob of Black Swamp Bird Observatory

Vibrant, scintillating, charming, and ferocious predators of stream and field. Dragonflies and damselflies (or odes) have grasped our attention and imaginations throughout history with their striking patterns, plethora of hues, and transfiguration from hunters of the water to masters of the air. In this BSBO workshop, we'll reveal the diverse and colorful world of odes and maybe, just maybe, inspire your next nature obsession.​
