Hi, Mark.

Those are great shots of the Merlin with the Common Green Darners. I give a lot of lectures about dragonflies, and I wonder if you would be willing to let me use one of the photos in that series (the first, 0834, would be fine) for these lectures. Most of the photos I use are my own, but I give credit to other photographers when they let me use an image I can't equal. I have photos of dragonflies being eaten by a whole lot of predators but not any falcon, and falcons are important predators. Merlins take huge numbers of darners in fall migration in western Washington. Anyway, if you could spare one of those photos for a PowerPoint presentation, I'd appreciate it. If not, no problem. Thanks!
