Not being a professional entomologist (or even a very good amateur one for that matter) and having a poor record of correctly identifying odonates in the field, I would be very grateful if someone would please take a look at the odonate in these two photos and help me to put a name to it.

These photos were taken on August 16, 2007 in Scappoose, Oregon, U.S.A.
 
Many thanks in advance,
