Notes

Wind 16 km SE, 52% Humidity, 101.9 kPa

Dense aquatic vegetation seen at this location. Bird feces scattered along shoreline. Multiple groupings of geese noticed just off shore. pH seems high. This area would be a good study area, as it is located at the top of Lake Simcoe and surrounded by a marina and adjacent Hwy.

Spotted Jewel Weed, Goldenrod, and Common Burdock

Noticed garbage floating in the water.
