Nora and Grace Lakes, Shasta County, 9/4/06

A short and not very productive trip to Nora Lake and environs netted these pictures. There really weren't many odes flying. I went to Nora Lake hoping for California Spreadwing, which has consistently been present in September. The lake was higher than I'd ever seen it, which may account for the lack of spreadwings.
