Overcast with some sunny breaks and quite windy. Had around 8 MM rainfall over past 24 hours. Some songbirds around and water bugs on the pond surface. Beavers have been busy with their dam at the end of the pond where the stream flows out, and the higher water levels since last month show the results of their efforts.
Sunny with some cloud cover rolling in...not very windy . No rain in past 24 hours. A nice family with 2 young children were out walking the trails here and were interested in what I was doing so they got involved in helping me and earned their sticker badges :) They discovered a water beetle and we got to watch a young muskrat swimming around the pond as a bonus for us all. Some ducks and songbirds around too. Under the surface of the water appears to be some green egg clusters I think...possibly frogs eggs?
