Clear weather, maple leaves in the water, no changes to shoreline other than all but one dock brought onto shore. Flight of migrating geese. Checked rocks near the shore and saw not sign of zebra mussels.

Mostly clear weather. Very hot for this time of year with little wind. Earlier in the week observed hundreds of "water bugs" in one area.
No signs of pollution just some recreational boating on the river. Fewer docks than normal on the shoreline (seasonal).
Lots of birds. Ornamental Lily pad-like invasive water plant-gradually spreading from central focus to east to west.

Small invasive lily-pad like plants, but less than last year.

Clear weather.
Drainage pipe from rural road ditch still draining. It usually dries up in June.
Any lawns near water have visible water lying on it.
Again smelly `lilly pad` like plants reaching the surface in up to 8` of water but no worse than last year.

Black mulchy material washed up on shore is believed to be from old bark on the bottom that breaks up?
