Southaven Park in Winter

One of my NYDDS Areas



Ebony  Jewel Wing (Calopteryx maculata) stream off of the main pond. I always find them here in the spring.




The Ebony Jewel Wing larvae are in there somewhere!



One of my surveying spots. The pond is completely covered with snow and ice. Can't wait for spring!
