Creek leading to South Bay on Lake Ontario

Less than 2 Mm rain in past 24 hours. Dragonflies and water bugs around but no birds seen or heard. Water levels have returned to what is more normal for this location after being underwater, fully or partially, most of the spring & summer.

About 21mm rain in past 48 hours after a long dry spell in this area. Boat launch and dock still somewhat affected by high lake levels but not as much as it was. Bit of a current flowing as even during the 10 mins I was there testing the water had withdrawn enough that I didn't have to hop from dock onto picnic table to avoid getting feet soaked as I had to when I arrived. Lots of waterbugs, dragonflies, red winged blackbirds, tadpoles, minnows, weeds up the the surface, bullrushes and lily pads.

14 MM rainfall in past 24 hours, presently sunny and calm. Water here is so high that the county has closed off this boat launch. I was able to carefully get to the dock without getting feet too wet.

Lots of slimy green algae on the surface of the creek and where water has ponded from the overflow. Plenty of weeds under the surface.
