it was very windy at the duck pond. The water was higher than when previously sampled. There is a canal for overflow from the duck pond, it enters the St. Marys. The water in the pond is not high enough, so the waters of the duck pond and the St.Marys aren't mixing. There were 20 plus female mallards and 20 plus male mallards on the pond. The pond was not clear, green and looked like algae on the bottom attached to rocks but could be decomposing leaves.
The only open surface water is around the perimeter of the pond. Approx. 3 metres open. Ice middle still.
No movement towards exit to St. Mary’s water not high enough to mix. 6 female mallards and 7 female , 2 geese. Recently dropped finer gravel on some of the banks. Possible turbidity test?
