@HarveyPerkins I was out at Wet Lagoon on Friday and there were hundreds of Dragonfly, Swamp Darner I am pretty sure. I did not take any pics of the Dragonflies as I was caught up with photographing the 2 Hobbies and a Kestrel feeding on them. The Hobbies were catching them on the wing and the Kestrel grabbing them from the swamp, between them they would have caught 50 or more. My pics of the Dragonfly in the Talons I don't think are anywhere near good enough to id them but I can post them if you want me to.
