No luck with new species for the county, but I did see a couple new species for the season.
Several Ebony Jewelwings (Calopteryx maculata) were flitting about Sump Drain:
A few baskettails (Epitheca sp.) were patrolling the forest clearings. I caught one male and will try to ID it at a later date. It may be Common (E. cynosura) or Stripe-winged (E. costalis):
A nice surprise was a young male Arrowhead Spiketail (Cordulegaster obliqua) perching in a small Prickly Ash:
Next I'll look for this species in another county.

I have been to Maybury State Park many times. It is a lovely setting for enjoying nature. Your pictures are lovely.
Thanks for the comments. Maybury definitely has a lot of habitat to explore. We've only hit a few locations.
Very nice. I've managed one spiketail in my life, which was an Arrowhead in Hillsdale County several years ago.
