Lance,

I am not sure where you came up with Eastern Red Damsel as a new find, although we did find several new county records this year. Duckweed Firetail on the other hand was the new state record. Found a month later and just a few yards from the first state record of Furtive Forktail. 

175) Telebasis byersi Westfall, 1957 -- Duckweed Firetail -- recorded in 2007 in Worcester County -- ponds

169) Ischnura prognata (Hagen, 1861-- Furtive Forktail -- rare -- first found in Maryland in 2007 -- Slow to still moving shaded water -- 
recorded from Co, Wi & Wo Counties

Cheers,

Hans
