Yes, there are several species of dragonfly that are migratory. The Common Green Darner, a long term study species of ours) is the most common. The Tramea (saddlebags), Anax longipes (Comet darner) and others are also migrant. In fall the Green Darner and others head southward. The Pantala species are famous for their worldwide migratory escapades.
Some very few observations have indicated that there may be a link between American Kestrel migration and the Common Green Darner migration with the former feeding on the latter during the trek. That's practical but has not been formally studied.
