Some Dragonflies

During a sunny period in this wacky weather, I went to the McKeough CA for a walk this afternoon. Butterflies were almost totally absent (what's new?), but I did see a few dragonflies and damselflies.
Most notable was a Flag-tailed Spinyleg. This male was in the floodway a ways from the river. I had found one in this same location in 2007. I was not sure what species at the time, but I found out it is quite uncommon in Ontario and found mainly along the north branch of the Sydenham River.
I found another along the river bank as well. It was duller.

Another species I found along the river was likely a Pronghorn Clubtail. At least it looks like the one in the guide!
A damselfly I found in the floodway looks like a female Blue-fronted Dancer...
