Section of Black Creek

No rain in past 24 hours. Overcast and windy now. No signs of wildlife around but the stream and marsh look nice and healthy with lots of water flowing from the snow melt.

Unable to test due to no water in the creek.

Sunny, hot, humid and hazy summer day. No rain in past 24 hours. Some yellow moths, butterflies and dragonflies seen . Birds heard but not seen. Very low water and no flow on the creek.

43 MM rain over past 2 days and lightly spitting now. Creek is moving along really fast and healthy looking. Can see and hear lots of songbirds .

Sunny and windy day. No rain in past 24 hours. Strong flowing current on both sides of the bridge.

Overcast & windy. This creek that has been bone dry all summer finally flowing nicely again after 54 MM rain in past 48 hrs and almost 100 MM in the 2 weeks prior to that. No wildlife around. Plastic bottle picked up and recycled.

Will have to wait until we hopefully get some fall rains so there is some water flowing again in this creek, as this region of PEC has been so dry all summer long.

No rain in past 24 hrs and only 4 mm over past few weeks. Drought conditions here and this creek is drying up considerably. No current present and bullrushes and weeds are taking over. Very murky water. Some frogs, birds and a monarch butterfly seen.

Sunny and calm day. No rainfall in past 24 hours. Bugs and birds around. Water much lower and flowing slower than when last tested. More weeds growing in the creek.

Slightly overcast and moderately windy. No rainfall in past 24 hours but it was raining BLACKFLIES heavily while I was there. Did tests as quickly as I could then took sample back home in bike bag to do the rest of them. Seems they've hatched now that things are warming up after all the rainfall. Some songbirds, robins in the area too.......bring on the swallows and purple martins to eat some of these bugs now ( I ate a few myself while riding ! )
