Notes

Willows on the bank here are coming in slowly, but there is competition from grass and tansy. Could hear birds all around, but did not see them.

The testing site had a backward flow with high levels from the Athabasca pushing in. Upstream, the water level was much lower, indicative of the dry weather we have been having.
