Root River Old Garden River : Root River

There were two beavers that came on site while I was monitoring. I believe it was two of the original families from last season but I can not be sure. The water was very still, almost like a pool. There were many fish and one corpse. A perfect buffet location for the beavers at this time of year. I know where the dam is but that secret will stay safe with me.
There was iron-oxidizing bacteria by the new algae growth- see photos. There is brown algae and a brown sediment buildup. There is much erosion and the river is definitely wider, possibly that is why the river appears to be lower.
