Notes

Sunny day with low wind. Swallows flying around gathering up insects. Lake level has changed drastically since first test a month ago. Waterline is now nearly up to the 3rd tier of rocks and entire length of the shoreline in this cove has a solid line of driftwood and flotsam that has accumulated there. Some green algae bloom on the rocks in the water now. Picked up a few plastic water bottles nearby and recycled.
