Dragonflies in Charlie's Pasture South on July 6, 2015

Here's a late report from July 6, 2015. I spent a long weekend in Port Aransas for the holiday. On Monday morning I birded and counted dragonflies on the new southern extension of the Nature Preserve at Charlie's Pasture. Here's a summary of effort:

Start time: 8:04 AM
Duration: 3:04 hours
Distance covered: 1.3 miles

And here's my dragonfly list:

      common_name      | count 
-----------------------+-------
 Band-winged Dragonlet |     2
 Common Green Darner   |     1
 Four-spotted Pennant  |     1
 Marl Pennant          |     6
 Needham's Skimmer     |     4
 Red Saddlebags        |     4
 Seaside Dragonlet     |   200

It was fun seeing a few Marl Pennants near the entrance to the tract to the east, and then so many Seaside Dragonlets when the trail got out over the dwarf-glasswort-dominated tidal flats.

Here's my eBird list and attached are a few iNaturalist observations.
