Morgan Creek

The creek was almost completely iced over. Brush had very recently been cleared on the south side of the creek.

Used duplicate test strip to confirm results

Beavers are very active cutting down small trees along the water's edge to build a dam. I had not see any evidence of beavers here prior to this fall.

Used a duplicate test strip. Both strips read 49ppm

Saw a cardinal near the water and heard red-winged blackbirds

Water level high and creek moving fast

Appeared to be a very faint peak above the 2.2 on the chloride test strip so I rounded up to 2.4 units

Slight ice coverage on the edges but majority of the creek was clear. Snowfall (1 inch) from 11-26-23 has been melting yesterday and today
