I caught this one sitting still, oviplanting in the stalks of some cat tail. I'm not sure if it's a dragon or a damsel, any idea?

It is a dragonfly. The damsels generally fold their wings up over them when perched, except the spreadwings.

Here is a favorite odonata link http://ghostmoth.eeb.uconn.edu/dragons/

Nice pose!

Great info in that link, thanks!
It was fun to chase it around a little, I had to get my feet wet for the pic :(
