Notes

On the way in we saw a big hawk. It had dark spots on white feathers on its neck and breast and head. Bigger than most Red Tailed hawks we generally see in area. Wasn't the Bald Eagle unless very young still? We do have the Bald Eagles in the area since being reintroduced in late 1996 ? No ice on creek and maybe 10 metres of pack ice on shoreline Lake Erie.

no algae
water flow was steady
water level still low but lots of rain and melting snow running into creek
