Wildlife Of North America: A naturalist's Lifelist" by Eugene, Oregon based professional nature photographer and writer Whit Bronaugh is an informatively impressive compendium of all 4,000 species of animals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fish, butterflies, dragonflies, and damselflies to be found in the United States and Canada. Of the 5,200 species of dragonflies and related damselflies in the world, scientists estimate that 25 to 50 make seasonal migrations. We managed to fool some of the smaller trout in the morning using Pale Morning Dun mayfly imitations, but by afternoon the trout were only eating spent adult blue damselflies floating on the water. |
