   Jeff Gaskin writes:  Yesterday, October 28,  I returned to the same spot in the Cowichan Valley where I saw an Autumn Meadowhawk Sympetrum vicinum, and to my surprise it was still around.  This was near the tower by the boardwalk at Somenos marsh.  This may be the same dragonfly that Kirsten Mills photographed a week ago as I was with her.
