I searched the east and south edge of the Kidz Park Pond in southwest Longview. I was hoping to find Atlantic Bluet but Damselflies were in short supply generally. I could not find a Kiowa Dancer near the outlet stream, unusual for this time of year.

Here's a list of Odanata species I saw. The best of the morning was a Broad-striped Forceptail seen on foliage at the margin of the pond. This is my first photo of a Forceptail in Gregg Co, although I have seen 2-3.

I was at the pond from 10:25 am to 11:50 am.
