Sunny clear sky and 4 MM rainfall in past 24 hours. Few birds and some dragonflies around. So much green algae bloom and also some brown scum across the surface of the water near the boat launch, so possibly from leaking fuel when boaters start up their motors? Haven’t noticed that being so bad here before though so not sure what is causing it now.
Partly cloudy with small amt of rain this morning and light sun shower happening now. Red winged blackbirds and songbirds around. Dragonflies too.

Hot , humid and hazy day with calm wind and water. No rain in past 24 hours. Lovely green frog hopping around . Lots of green algae bloom on the water near launch and dock. Spoke with 2 fishermen and gave WR cards to them. One young chap heading out in his canoe…his partner is an environmental technician so he would give her the info to check out the site. He says not as many fish caught this year, likely due to extreme heat he thinks, but ones caught are bigger than usual…even the sunfish. Catches bass, walleye and pike here normally. Also said on Lake Ontario around PEC the Gobi fish are taking over and some days that’s all they catch…..not a good sign to see those invasive species becoming so prevalent.
