Sunny with some clouds and calm. No rain in past 24 hours. Beavers have built a dam on the other side of this road so water level there is good but on this side where we test it has become very low and mud bottom now showing for first time that I’ve seen.
Sunny with some clouds breaking up now in the sky. Ducks in the water and Canada Geese flying overhead. Very murky and weedy water with lots of green algae bloom.
Sunny with a few clouds forming and light winds. Heavily laden with weeds, green algae, & lillypads so couldn’t see Secchi disc until it broke the surface. Dragonflies and butterflies around. Saw a shed skin from a large snake along the rocks beside the water.
Sunny and very hot & muggy. No rain in past 24 hours. Dragonflies and red-winged blackbirds and some other small birds around the area. So much green algae bloom covering the water almost totally in most spots and no flow of water at all.
No rain in past 24 hours. Partly overcast and windy. Some red-winged blackbirds as usual here in theIr marsh home. Picked up bunch of beer cans to be recycled.
No rainfall in past 24 hours. Windy and beginning to look like rain to come soon. Some geese and red-winged blackbirds around but fairly quiet for this marsh.
Overcast and calm. 3 CM snow overnight so some still on the ground. Ducks on the water in the marsh.
No rain in past 24 hours. Can hear a symphony of crickets in the marsh. Grey heron standing stone still out in the water . Dragonflies and some birds flying around.
Very dark, threatening skies with heavy rainfall coming and going, but at the moment not raining here. Have had about 15MM in past 24 hours. Not much in the way of wildlife....just some birds can be heard singing, but no insects around now. Lots of weeds as expected in this marsh area.
No rain fall in past 24 hours. Slightly overcast and calm today. Road has been reopened for past few weeks after spring flooding had closed it earlier in year to car traffic. Heron far off in the marsh, seagulls overhead, songbirds around. Water bugs and lots of bullrushes...some floating like little islands in the gentle current until they bumped up against bridge & stopped.
