Lake Huron

Dock normally used for observations was removed at some point. Took measurements and observations from adjacent dock to the SE. One island resident with motor boat left landing while observer was on site. Beaver activity with dropped poplar trees near parking area observed.

water level higher than August sampling, very cloudy with TSS, one fish rose under the highway bridge

2 parties of people, one leaving parking lot, one boarding a small boat, crow calls. Water clear.

Heard a kingfisher calling and observed a tern flying. Water was greenish but relatively clear with some suspended solids.

Quiet and calm in the inlet despite strong gusts elsewhere. Heard a loon call but did not see it.

White throated sparrows, blue jays singing.

The central dock formerly used for sampling has been removed (for winter?) used the large wooden dock to the northwest.

Water insects on surface away from shore, crows, ducks heard but could not be identified.

Nothing of significance. Met a cottager returning to their cottage who expressed interest in the water quality monitoring program. Directed her to the Water Rangers web page, discussed the water quality of Lake Huron in a general sense. She thanked me and the Kensington Conservancy for our work on this.

Suspected snapping turtle on surface ~30 m out from shore
Water clear, but there was a great deal of pollen on surface and suspended.
