Notes

We saw a family of Mallard ducks. It looked like 3 babies. Heard a frog. The water was clear and had no smell. Some small mats of algae and blooming water plants.

The Tawatinaw is relatively high, with some backflow from the Athabasca coming in. The Athabasca is higher than it has been this year.

The channel connecting Tawatinaw and the lagoon is still silted over or quite small, even with the Tawatinaw being higher.
