One of  the dragonflies might have been a Yellow-legged Meadowhawk.   The
animal is small, about 11/2 inches, and dull red.  It is one of  the late
fliers in our region.  I photographed two recently at the  house.

Maybe so. I saw a good number of them both at Blue Mash and later here at
home around the small pond. A pair were actually mating and tandem-flying. The
various meadowhawk species are hard for me to tell apart without really good
looks, and admittedly I need more practice. Thanks for the  help!
