Hmm she does have a very light silver/gold face and inky black legs so l am leaning Whiteface but they are so similar sometimes.

Having a little conversation on a log in the Potomac River. (One of those amusing instances when you've taken a photo of a bug and then discover a second bug when you process the photo.)

Was walking around when I spooked them from some tall grass into a tree. Luckily my phone has a 5x telephoto lens. They're pretty tricky to sneak up on while they're mating

These guys are almost always like fighter jets and impossible to catch but this beauty was considerate enough to pose for a little moment. 🪷

The pond hawk will alight on you, but the skimmer just stays aware about 2 feet away and hunts. 🪷They are sweet lunchtime companions! :)
