Great Blue Heron catches Skimmer dragonfly/ Photo by John Reinke
The dragonfly was an eight spotted skimmer, and it had landed on a plant located right next to the Sammamish River at the south end of the Luke McRedmond Landing, on the south side of the 85th Street Bridge. The heron cautiously stalked up fairly close to the plant and then made a lightning strike to snatch the dragonfly from its perch.

Thanks for posting this. We live in a very special place. I support prioritizing the protection of our environment. (Not only is it the moral thing to do, but it is usually much less expensive to maintain environmental health than it is to try to repair a degraded one.)
