Notes

Overcast sky with rain in the forecast very soon. Have had rainfall in Quinte area in past 24 hours, sometime heavy. So much green pea soup looking algae floating atop the water in most spots other than further out where it’s more open and lots of lily pads there. Family of ducks on other side of the roadway from the test spot, and single Canada Goose sitting along the waters edge just feet from me the whole time I was there and didn’t budge . No nest near it that I could see. The DO result was lowest I’ve had in all the testing anywhere over 4+ years….below 1 but not 0 so gave it .5
