In the field I thought, "What an interesting scabrosa with those extra maculations on the elytra!" And then I look at the photo and realize it's sand : )

Male; foraging over the parking area.
WOW! Second county record after the female Chase found at this location earlier in the year. I have been looking for a Garnet ever since, but until today, none caught my eye enough to shoot. This guy was such a vibrant hue of red that it immediately attracted my gaze.

With Buff-collared Nightjar in first clip. The second clip of several "whuk" calls were recorded when a Common Poorwill landed just a couple feet from me, noticed me, made these calls, and quickly flew off.

New species for me, whatever it is! Thanks to Mike and Steve for the initial possible ID. I had no idea where to start. I've never had a dragon perch right up on a vertical trunk before, so I knew it was something new. Took off before I could get a side profile. Hope to find more.

Members of the subfamily Coniopteryginae are recognized by the presence of only one r-m crossvein in the middle of the wing. Two genera can be found in Arizona, Semidalis and Coniopteryx, and these may be further separated by the position of the m-cu crossvein (see second pic, highlighted red); in Coniopteryx this crossvein is located anterior to the branching of vein m, whereas in Semidalis this crossvein emerges behind the fork on vein m3+4. Four Semidalis and four Coniopteryx species are known from southern Arizona.

Neurocordulia (Shadowdragons) are a specialized group of riverine dragonflies that spend the days perched in the canopy (too high to see in many species) and wait until nearly dark to make rapid and seemingly random flights mere inches over the river. The flight period can last for 20 minutes to a little over an hour -- or possibly later in the darkness.
Saturday evening I visited the Santa Fe River in High Springs with Rex Rowan to search for Cinnamon Shadowdragon (N. virginiensis). Though the footing was rocky and the current swift and full of eelgrass, we waded up to our waists in an attempt to get closer to where a few were flying. We watched carefully, hoping they would approach close enough for a swing of the net. After some clumsy splashes, I caught two! Lifer!
Before we left in the near darkness, we noticed at least 50 still flying above a spot on the river about 300 yards upstream, where the twilight was still reflected on the river surface. It was too deep and too dark to get closer.
This is one posed in the field the next morning and also on my mask string in my hotel room.
