    Pay no attention to that odonate behind the curtain. It certainly doesn’t look like Frank Morgan. But perhaps the wizard behind the camera took a peek and saw that it resembles the other specimen, which seems to be a Ruby Meadowhawk, which species can only be differentiated from the Cherry-Faced Meadowhawk with the help of a 20x microscope, lest one be left taxonomically embarrassed and Red-Faced.
    The initial mystery guy was obviously hiding, either from the coyote or the bear.
