Sunny, muggy and calm day. Schools of minnows visible in the water. Dragonflies around and could hear many frogs, toads and crickets in the rushes. Few red winged blackbirds visible and other birds only heard. Dock is still mostly submerged from high water levels so my readings couldn't be taken at usual spot near end of dock so this depth reading would be somewhat less than where it is taken normally.
Overcast and calm winds....will soon be raining. Only .6 mm in past 24 hrs but over past 2 weeks nearly 120 Mm have fallen and lots of flooding shorelines and evident here too by half the dock being water covered. Robins, blackbirds and blackflies out tonight.
