One Finally Landed

The field was full of red saddlebags flying around. Very difficult to photograph as they hardly ever seem to land. When they would land, they would instantly take off again. I had to pick a dead stalk and wait for one to land and try to get it. Took 10 tries before I finally got one. And even then, it only gave me this one view.
