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
