We had to do our testing today as we were not going to be available on our regular assigned date and time .
There were no people ,animals ,birds, insects ect.
The creek itself was frozen across, thus no water samples could be taken (bank to steep to navigate and break ice)
We did include pictures .The lake had no ice except remnant's on shore . The water from creek did slightly breach the beach into the Lake Erie .
My brother and his step son both from Taiwan helped in testing today

On the way in we saw a big hawk. It had dark spots on white feathers on its neck and breast and head. Bigger than most Red Tailed hawks we generally see in area. Wasn't the Bald Eagle unless very young still? We do have the Bald Eagles in the area since being reintroduced in late 1996 ? No ice on creek and maybe 10 metres of pack ice on shoreline Lake Erie.

There was no natural debris on water
no immediate discharge
no evidence of using
no algae
water flow was steady
water level still low but lots of rain and melting snow running into creek
water was brown
water colour was cloudy
water had no odour

When we were driving in we passed a man riding a horse down road. At parking lot there was 2 horse trailers and 2 other cars which had families with the kids playing in playground behind pavillion and some coming up from lake with little pails. It was noticably warmer here than at test site #1 by 3*C . No road salt testing here as its a no winter maintenance road.

*DISSOLVED OXYGEN TEST was not recorded due to me putting amploule into container with other discarded test mat'l before we had taken the reading(it was not safe enough to get another sample due to rain making shoreline slope to slippery to access again.
Natural debris in water
Water mostly ice covered thinly
No algae
Water flow was still
Water level looked lower than last months testing level (banks are muddy for about 3M-5M )
Water was brown color
Water was cloudy
No odour
With the drop in water level we could barely reach water from test location. Might have to walk around to outlet into Lake Erie if possible and walk up to creek if it hasn't breached the beach
There was a juice box container on ground near creek (evidence of people)
And there was 1 car in parking lot when we arrived (2 people walking )

Lake was quite rough ,big waves crashing on shore. It was loud ,windy 14 KM/H, N/E . the temp was overcast and about 9*C . There was natural debris in creek (leaves ,apples ,sticks). There were lots of birds singing. Lots of little fish flies near shore.

As soon as I walked up to test site a Comorant flew in. Moments later dives . I waited a minute and went to take a picture of area and it popped up right in front of me with a fish in its mouth so cool(looked like a 12cm-15cm Silver Bass or Yellow Perch)
The Water had breached the beach and was flowing into creek on top.There was Natural debris(leaves, apples ect). Litter being the chair that had blown into water (as well a sign of people.)
There was Algae, Water was Steady, Average level ,Brown in colour, Cloudy with no Odours
There were people at beach and dogs .

We could hear lots Cicada s . We saw dragonflies just over water surface. We could hear people at beach having fun with their dog.

There were Red Winged Blackbirds along shore eating and jumping along. There was some small birds with blueish purple backs and curves wings swooping along water surface eating bugs. (looked about size of Purple Martins ?)There were barn swallows near pavilion similar size as ones swooping water surface but darker color backs

There is little to none for cell service dead zone. We observed a Baltimore Oriole, Redwinged Black birds .
There were reeds and bull rush s ,trees along bank. The bank had to be entered directly centre of pavilion to the tree at creek. Its to steep in other area s.
