"While walking in an area of woods in Wilton, I suddenly noticed a large shadow above me. Before I could blink, here was a Broad-Winged Hawk landing on this very large snake. I was lucky to get what I got before he took off." - Photographer Jim Knox of WiltonEating locally...

Momma has quite the brood!" - Photographer DeAnna Meeks of Chesterville"These particular dragonflies have little apple faces and pretty black spots on their lacy wings. I've been finding quite a few near death on the roads, so I move them to nicer resting grounds on grasses or flowers. Anything that eats black flies deserves it." - Photographer Jane Naliboff of ViennaFor the Fourth: What you got on the grill for me? (Photo by Jim Knox of Wilton)
I didn’t know dragonflies wore aviators.
Matt- Most dragonflies have large sunglass collections to protect their eyes from the summer sun.
I meant Will, not Matt.
