For the last few weeks I have been searching diligently for the late-season dragonfly species that appear on the scene in late August and early September. So far I have come up mostly empty-handed, but I was thrilled to spot this cool-looking Russet-tipped Clubtail dragonfly (Stylurus plagiatus) on 6 September at Jackson Miles Abbott Wetland Refuge. In my area, Russet-tipped Clubtails are seen most often in August and September, but they are somewhat uncommon.
As some of you know, I dabble a bit with YouTube. At about this time last year I did a little video about Russet-tipped Clubtails that you might enjoy watching. It was one of my first videos and lasts about a minute and a half. Click on this link to view the video in YouTube. I am also embedding a YouTube link at the end of this posting. Depending on how you are reading this blog, you may be able to watch the video from within the blog.
A year ago, I had aspirations of shooting more video footage during my photography outings. I have made only minor progress in that area, but it is still something that interests me a lot. I have learned the basics of making and editing videos, but am struggling to figure out what stories I want to tell and how a video can help me tell those stories.
