It was very sunny but there was occasional cloud cover. People were out fishing and enjoying the day. The water was a bit high, but lower than last month. The water smelled fine, however the air smelled of dead fish. Birds were fishing and there were wasps and butterflies flying around. Some litter was along the water’s edge.

The water was still high from all the rain. People were out fishing and there were different types of birds. Lots of wasps and some dragonflies.

The water smelled terrible. There was dead fish and trash floating around, and the water was a murky brown. I think the wasps were mud daubers, and they didn’t like sharing the picnic table with me.

Water was high today. LOTS of different birds! The water was cloudy. It was very cold out, and the wind was not fun. The sun started coming out toward the end of my testing.
