A lot further south than normally seen for this species. Ties in with two observations from ANIC.
User's notes
GPSed. Size (length) is a guesstimate. A darner or tigertail?

This is very far south for Mountain Tigertail, so I'm double checking with someone else to confirm the ID.

Many thanks Korinne. Great to have the ID resolved and for it to be a significant finding. What's ANIC?

Korinne, I'll leave that to you. The property owner and I are wondering if climate change is a contributing factor as to why it was so far south? Or could it be that there are a lack of dragonfly sightings made and reported for this area?
