January dragon

 
There were record-breaking high air temperatures for this date (18 January 2021).  I'm seeing slightly different numbers from several meteorological stations in Bodega Bay, but it looks like air temperatures reached between 68-72°F (20-22°C) on the coast today.
 
Because of the warm temperatures, after some morning tasks I decided to take a quick look for butterflies near the Bodega Dunes Campground where it tends to be calm and warm on days like this.  I struck out with butterflies, but I spotted one Variegated Meadowhawk (Sympetrum corruptum) perched along the trail.
