We managed to find several individuals of one species, Pacific Forktail (Ischnura cervula), which may be good considering temps in the 50s (F).
Nannothemis captured this male having lunch:
I was able to capture a couple males by hand for these shots:
...and the habitat along the San Diego River:
The next day Nannothemis captured this image of me on the hunt for a female:
Here's a female Pacific Forktail (Ischnura cervula) in the hand:
Hopefully our next destination turns up more species, but we suspect that may be a tall order. Check back in a couple of weeks to see if we have any success.

Oooooh, I'm glad I found your blog. I look forward to more, and to the next time I have a few minutes to peruse your archived posts! ~karen
thanks, Karen
Hopefully, we'll have a new Jalisco post in a week or two. While you're "waiting" have fun looking through the previous posts.
The Michigan ode season is some months away so we likely won't have further updates for a bit after the Mexico post. ;^(
Darrin, I'll be watching for your posts from Mexico! Glad I came back to read this post again. Info doesn't sink in as readily anymore and it takes me a few times to remember! Thanks for swinging by my blog today. I look forward to seeing you again! ~karen
To bad, I did not know you would be in San Diego. I'm probably one of only two DSA members in San Diego, and I could have taken you to a few places for ODES.
Have fun,
Doug
