Lake Ontario

A lot if ducks in the water

AI test strips for phosphates, and pH, alkalinity and total hardness (last ones saved for Mimico). Note:?the tests latter showed different readings from the regular test strips (see observation data for same time under Guardians rather than Testers).

Crust of algae on rocks along water line showing water levels are down but still high. Seagulls, ducks.

Beautiful morning walking along Mimico’s waterfront after sampling in Humber Bay Park. Still have very high water level.

High water levels. First sighting of night heron (in tree along trail at foot of Superior and Lake Shore Boulevard West) while walking to this site. Water quite stinky. Ducks came by to check me out.

So spiders crawling on the shoreline rocks. Buffleheads bobbing in the water.

Green growth bottom. Way more than last time. Geese and ducks don't seem to mind. No smell, yet.

Lots of ducks and geese. And today we tried out a new water quality test - dissolved oxygen!
