Sunny and calm with some clouds beginning. No rain in past 24 hours. Beaver swimming away when I came. Red winged blackbirds and songbirds and swans here. Some green algae floating in some parts of the marsh. Dam the beaver built that is keeping the water levels higher right now is broken in the middle with water flowing past so some work to do by that beaver once I leave it alone.
