MDDS Final Report
This will open a new tab or window and take you to the Maine Damselfly and Dragonfly Survey page with the project's impressive final report. It's an 11M PDF file (but well worth the download time).
Species Maps
Here you'll find Google maps for some high-priority species during our meeting. Your best bet will be to view these maps now and use them to mark-up a Maine Gazetteer or other paper map you'll use during field trips. Or, at the very least, zoom on these maps and print them yourself.
While viewing a map, click on an icon to get more information about a given species, including latitude and longitude. This will also keep the site in view when you start zooming with the scale bar on the left. You can adjust the background map (street, terrain, topographic, satellite, etc.) at the upper right of each map. Note that our pre-, post- and main- meeting sites are designated with pink markers on each map.
The dataset for these maps comes courtesy of the Maine Dragonfly and Damselfly Survey, a project of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. And many thanks to Paul-Michael Brunelle for making this data available and useable.
