Little Stint (Calidris minuta)Observer
andyfrankDescription
Orange-red face suggests Stint rather than one of the more expected shorebirds. Rear hallux eliminates Sanderling. Favoring Little over Red-necked are longer legs and red-edging around tertials. Red-necked Stint would look more attenuated.

Hawkers and Typical Darners (Genus Aeshna)Observer
jimjohnsonDescription
I am provisionally calling this individual an Aeshna umbrosa x constricta/palmata hybrid since the second parent cannot be confirmed from its appearance (although A. palmata is likely since it is certainly present in the region and A. constricta is unrecorded).
