June 22/23 Corrected this day's TDS figure from 5.04 to read 504 ppm .... THANKS to Jonas Pestieau for identifying this! It was simply my transposition of numbers >>> not a concerning field issue.
2 Mallards paddled around as a Jogger slowed to ask "Can we Drink It?!!" ... I forget my answer ... but he was happy with it!!
mild flooding of creek area encouraged a pair of mallards to cruise the scene.
Leaves are falling fairly quickly with this light rain and the long dry Indian summer. The leaves are collecting at the riffle heads which raises the water levels behind >> looks healthy.
Today was filled with conversation from streamside passersby! Pleasure to inform visitors of all ages to the natural world we get to observe and enjoy. .... lucky my 2 hr. schedule isn't 'timed' >> ends up being 3hrs!!
