Notes

The day of testing there were very few people in the park or on the water. A few geese swimming nearby. Plastic trash near the retaining wall. Lots of heavy rain in previous days including earlier on day of sampling. Reservoir water was calm. During the incubation period, electric power was lost for a couple of hours, so incubation temperature was unstable. Therefore, it is possible these results are inaccurate.
