Water brought up during bug sample was full of silt, difficult to see bugs
EC meter needed new battery, unable to verify La Motte DO results with Macherey Nagel test. La Motte - brown flakes not evident during prep of test. (RA - oxygen results not included)
Lots of bird calls. No water birds evident over the last week. Unusual - doesn't look healthy
Lots of bubbles, wind blowing water back. Surprisingly minimal litter
