Spent a half hour chatting with a gentleman who was in hip waders with small net testing here for data about marsh areas for the Federal Govt. and Birds Canada. Tyler Hoar is a well known author of Bird books and he was eager to share all sorts of interesting information with me as we did our tests, & I referred him to our WaterRangers site to see the work being done there. Here is a bio from one of the sites where his birding books can be found.......”TYLER HOAR is an avid naturalist and ornithologist with extensive experience in birding surveys and research across North America. In recent years, he has been involved in bird population studies for the Royal Ontario Museum and the Canadian Wildlife Service in Ontario and Quebec. He has a biology degree from the University of Guelph. When not working, Tyler has travelled extensively through North America, Central America, the South Pacific and Australia while enjoying his passion for birding and nature appreciation. “

7 mm rainfall in past 24 hours. Water moving slowly along creek into the marsh as it enters South Bay on Lake Ontario. Could hear many swans & geese across the marsh on the lake. Songbirds and crows visible and heard in the trees nearby. Same fly fisherman as I met in Milford earlier was here too checking out the river for sucker activity, of which there is none yet. Spoke with him more about Water Rangers and the testing we do and directed him to the site to learn more.
