Dragonflies and Damselfliesred saddlebag dragonfly? or maybe a kite-bug
Beautiful site. I looked through your dragonflies, this guy looks to me to be similar to the red saddlebags dragonfly picture. I thought to myself – but no, there aren’t any slow-moving rivers around here, but you know there is a canal a couple of miles east of here and we have had a lot of really strong winds from the east lately. Perhaps this one and his friend who didn’t make it into the picture were pushed over this way. On the chance that the kite aspect of this picture and the beautiful silhouetted wings make this a worthy picture, and because it might be a different kind of dragon fly, I’m sending it along. Thanks.

Hi Paul,
We are not sure if this is a Red Saddlebag Dragonfly, but it is definitely in that genus, Tramea. The photo really is quite beautiful.
