Sympetrum obtrusum
A white-faced, red and black (male) Dragonfly of small to average size
Areas of open or native prairie grasses, fairly close (within one city block) to fresh water
More prone to fly away from than land on you; these guys seem slightly on the shy side to me, unlike other dragonflies I've come in contact with.
