Middle River

Middle River

Baddeck, Nova Scotia, Canada

This location is on a point of land where Middle River meets MacRae Brook. Middle River water data is being recorded at a test site slightly upstream from where the brook flows into the river. There is always a current present so the water is always moving even when the water level drops in the warm season. Access to the water testing spot is safe most of the year though the tip of the point of land can be covered when there is a significant rainfall. The water flow/depth is also affected by snow melt from the Cape Breton Highlands.

Observed a male & female Common Merganser, coltsfoot gone to seed, a few forget-me-nots, a few dandelion, wild honeysuckle (pictured above) still has a few blooms, heavenly horsetail green vegetative stalks, a carpet of green leaves with flower buds emerging (pictured above) though not sure of its name. So many plants and so many blackflies!
