  Although there are several dragonfly and damselfly 
guides for the Eastern USA, this is the ONLY dragonfly guidebook specifically 
for California and its neighboring states. Author, Kathy Biggs, is the creator 
of the award winning website "Dragonflies and Damselflies of California" which 
can be accessed from the link below. The author can be contacted through her

Rich Stallcup says,

"Common Dragonflies of California  is 
great! It fills the niche in California Wildlife field-guides that was begging 
to be occupied! The color balance is dead-on reality. With 
Common Dragonflies of California's petite dimensions and lightweight, it 
should ride in the pocket or backpack of every naturalist, hiker and biker in 
the state from May through September."  Rich Stallcup of the 
Point Reyes Bird Observatory is one of the best known 'birders' in CA and the 
author of several birding books. Rich began using one of the prototype copies of 
Common Dragonflies of California in early 1999.
