Annual Dragonfly Day for Families and Nature Lovers

On Saturday, July 14, 2012, the North Fork Audubon Society held its Annual Dragonfly Day at Skipper Horten Wentworth Park, next to the visitor's center, in Greenport, NY. 

Adults and children of all ages enjoy this yearly event. Every year there are new faces and old. Some people attending year after year! This event is very popular with young children, teenagers as well as adults. Everyone gets out there to try their hand at catching those fast and elusive dragonflies and in the process learns about this popular and beneficial odonate!

No Dragonflies or Children were harmed during this program. All Dragonflies and Children were released unharmed following the event! :-)
