Libellula forensis female
Near the ferry going over to Powell River is Little River Pond, it is a nice wetland wildlife habitat that they have made into a nature park. Twenty different species of dragonflies have been seen there.
I used the 300 f4 with the 1.7 teleconverter.
You may see Terry Thormin there a local dragonfly expert and photographer. All credit for identification goes to him since I am just learning to identify them myself.
His websight is a great resource for dragonfly identification of local species.
