Now into March! Our earliest flying Odonata are recorded in March. Data indicate 34 adults, mostly Common Green Darner (27), then Variegated Meadowhawk (4), Fragile Forktail (2), Swamp Darner (1).

Watch the weather for south wind stormfronts that bring us the first wave of CGD. You can also anticipate by looking at iNat observations for states to the south (KY, TN, AL).

Here's the map. Darker counties are most recent (2017-2022). Note there were zero March observations in 2023.
