Some rain in past 24 hours. Ducks swimming in the river. Water a bot choppy from windy conditions. Fishermen heading out in boat and others on the river already.

Some rain in past 24 hours. Lots of boaters and people fishing off the docs. I spoke to a lady from the fisheries ministry and told her about water rangers and gave her a card . She was going to mention this to the folks in the scientific division when she was back at work.

it rained in past 24 hours and windy. Currently it was partly cloudy and moderate winds. saw seagulls and geese . one boat appeared at the dock. part of the dock has been removed for the cold season of winter. lots of garbage picked up for recycling .foam on the end of the water near shore.

No rainfall in past 24 hours. Overcast now with mild wind and calm water. Cruiser going by on the river. Lots of seagulls and Canada Geese around.

Nice day out and saw two ducks swimming with us. Also saw fisherman and people water skiing. Got rain yesterday afternoon

Calm overcast day with no rain past 24 hours. Few ripples on the water. Single duck flying overhead and a few on the river further downstream. 2 fishermen getting ready to launch their boats for first time out on the river this year. Talked with them about Water Rangers.ca and directed them to the site for info on places where they plan to fish. They know this river well and find about a dozen species that they catch or see over the course of the year. Cleaned up a lot of litter that was left around the area of the dock and parking lot...usual coffee cups, plastic bottles, cig packs, etc. Will dispose of them when we join in the Osgoode Cleanup crew tomorrow. We recorded ice off since this is the first time here this spring but it has surely been off the river for a month of so .
