Roseate Skimmer Over Water by Debra Martz While out bird watching I often see other things of beauty in nature. I was on a deck adjacent to the trail looking for waterfowl. What a treat to see this dragonfly coming and going from this twig of a branch. Captured in the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge in Alamo, TX along the border of Mexico. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved 20220412-DSC_1854.NEF

Widow Skimmer Dragonfly

This is my original artwork of a black skimmer gliding along the Florida coast looking for food.

Black Skimmer @Debra Martz I was standing on the end of a boardwalk that extends into the Laguna Madre watching a Reddish Egret when this Skimmer appeared. It made several circles in the area before moving on a little north. The strange, uneven bill of the skimmer has a purpose: the bird flies low, with the long lower mandible plowing the water, snapping the bill shut when it contacts a fish.

Pink Beauty - Roseate Skimmer by Debra Martz So many of these beauties were flying around Paradise Pond in Port Aransas, TX on a warm November day. I don't know the IDs of dragonflies but the little research I did it appears this one might be a Roseate Skimmer. If you know, drop in a comment. Copyright Debra Martz 20181105-DSC_0184.N

A very polite dragonfly! Could he have that juicy fly in your window?

Flame Skimmer Dragonfly

Blue dasher dragonfly (Pachydiplax longipennis)

I was out hiking the Eagle Roost trail in search of birds but the dragonflies were more abundant at the beginning of the trail. Being a bird watcher more than a dragonfly watcher, I struggle with IDs but always try and find the correct one or at least hope to get close. With the use of several ID apps and online insect websites, my conclusion is this is a Great Blue Skimmer, immature. Please feel free to correct or suggest another ID in the comments. Thank you.

This is my watercolor of a black skimmer bird with a chick that I was inspired to paint after seeing a flock of black skimmers nesting on the island where I was vacationing at Navarre Beach, FL.
