A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Tramea lacerata
Very active dragonflies that skim rapidly over ponds and mate while airborne. They spend most days in flight and rarely perch, which I learned pretty quickly while observing these. This was the third day in a row I attempted to photograph them, and I think I only got a clear shot because these two slowed down ever-so-slightly as they flew in tandem.
Over the pond at Yale Road Park.

Great shots! These are very difficult to capture. Like you said, they rarely perch.
