Notes

Flock of 25-30 cormorants were swimming downstream prior to water testing. White pelicans are migrating through area. Black birds are roosting in cypress trees to the NE of site on marsh island. Blue Heron was roosting in cypress tree behind cormorants in flight.
0 rain for last 48 hours. 0.37" in last 7 days. Very hazy (cannot see the sun).
3mph NNW wind.
Small specs in water samples after stabilizing samples and shaking repeatedly. Suspect algae blooms due to high oxygen content during the day.
