Notes

Overcast with some rain off & on and about 8 Mm in the past 24 hrs. Flock of Canada Geese flew away from the water as I arrived. Some ducks and a single heron around. So much green algae on the surface and many spots showing the muddy bottoms as no water there now. Conductivity reading was sky high and barely any Dissolved Oxygen in the water….not healthy signs!
