A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Pachydiplax longipennis
We stopped by the Illumination Lawn at Lincoln Center (http://gothamist.com/2010/05/21/lincoln_...), which is really cool. Surprised to see a dragonfly there.
Also, if you want to join public missions you can, for example, here is a global dragonfly mission:

I believe it is a male Blue Dasher (part of the Skimmer family), based on the brief search I conducted on Wikipedia.
