Book Reviews of Dragonflies through Binoculars: A Field Guide to Dragonflies of North America (Butterflies and Others Through Binoculars Field Guide Series)
Book Review: I'm glad Dragonflies through Binoculars is on my bookshelf!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am the nutty dragonfly lady in my neighborhood. I am out every day with my camera, wading, watching, sitting on a dock, on the creek bank, enjoying dragonflies and damselflies (they're cousins, you know). I use all my field guides all the time. I have found this book extremely useful. The book says "Dragonflies". I believe Mr. Dunkle had written one on Florida or southern damselflies. I think it's out of print.
If the odes fascinate you as much as I, then you need this book.
