Ottawa River
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Marsh has had changes over past couple of years. The spit of land between the marsh and the mouth of the Mississippi is now devoid of trees as they were cut down. Leaves marsh more open to flooding and wind. Large commercial dock and launch built just outside of marsh although not used much.

Very hot and still. No breeze.
Sounds of bullfrogs. Geese flying in formation overhead. Secchi test site was very weedy - not sure if disc disappeared from view or was hidden under weeds. Water very murky.
Water level very low. Weather was partly sunny and water was calm. Crows sat in bushes behind eagles...perhaps waiting for leftovers??
Water brown and very calm.
