Notes

Wall Spring is a fresh water spring that flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Because we came at high tide we could see some salt water infiltration in our numbers. The area is a park and it is grassy, steep in places, full of Pine and Palm trees, and has cement at certain points as it used to be a swimming pool at one point.
The wildlife we saw were two ducks, lots of fish about 4-5 inches long, squirrels, flock of Ibis, a turtle in the spring about 9 inches long. a lizard and although we didn't see any we did see a bat box (photo)
Humidity was 84%. no smell. no algae bloom although we could see the fish eating what looked like algae.
Next time we go we will try to go at low tide to see if the numbers change.
