Cold Water Creek

The water seemed low for such a high rainfall event. Potentially water is still moving through the system. The conductivity seemed high- might want to check the water depth for comparison. Conductivity may have increased due to evaporation. There was snake mortality by the sample site looked like a natural occurrence, possibly a bird. Vegetation overgrown, can not see the path so watch footing. The rip rap by sampling site is slippery and there is wood debris present from beaver action in May. Watch your step.

There were scuddles or small shrimp on the banks- see pictures. There are three evergreens that were alive at the beginning of the seasonal and now have turned red. There are other red evergreens that I have spotted. Questioning if they were hurt overwintering in warm weather or if there is potential other reasons for this anomaly.
Lots of Foliage be careful and watch for Cows parsnip which can cause itchiness. Long grasses make it hard to see the uneven ground.

Overgrown vegetation on the path. Aquatic vegetation presents common waterweed and some grass. There were larvae maybe caddies or midge.
Overgrown vegetation on the path to the sampling location. Be aware of cow parsnip and possibly ticks.
Odour of Culvert decomposition.

The water was cloudy and full of debris. Surface runoff.

The grass and rocks are slippery. Park by the fence on the left to access.

Water is much colder here than last night. Surrounding is normal no signs of beaver back.

Lots of plants growth, no change to hazards in the area, and water appears quick like normal.

Long grass in the way and rocks are on the sampling location. Walk carefully.

Lots of vegetation around the site.

Tiny shrimp by the bank and a frog as well.

Watch your foot around the bank on the rocks.

Everything looks normal

Water seems to be smoothing out the bottom of the stream. Before when Beaver Dam was up, there was a noticeable drop in depth. It seems smoothed out now.

The site is similar to before. No signs of beaver since the removal of the dam.
