Notes

We met a couple young girls in kayaks. We shared conversations and they helped us with our observation adding some details for us . They said they spotted turtles,3 heron s ,and a blackbird which later swam in towards us and was fishing (it was a Comorant) It would dive and pop up in another spot or dive and leave its bottom up above water also. Later it flew onto a branch in the water and spread it s wing s in the sun. There was a big Blue dragon fly and a bunch of small black and grey dragon flies. We also saw minnows (cormorant possibly eating them and vegetation) There were small white butterflies (like the cabbage moths in our garden).

The day was sunny and 21*C slight breeze. There was natural debris on water and alittle floating algae. The 2 girls we met in kayak s but not evidence of fishing .There was alittle algae on water small matts (Cyanobacteria)
