It was overcast and windy though the sun came out occasionally. People were out fishing and boating. It had rained a few days prior, and the water looked brown.

The water was high. Lots of white foam in the water and birds flying around. There were lots of people fishing, and it was the most busy I’ve ever seen. It was a really nice day to be out.

Water was high today. LOTS of different birds! The water was cloudy. It was very cold out, and the wind was not fun. The sun started coming out toward the end of my testing.

There were fishing birds and crows, butterflies, dragonflies, and wasps. There were some little bugs hopping and darting around the water’s edge that I didn’t recognize. A few people were out fishing and there wasn’t as much litter as there normally is. A very pretty sunny day!

The water had a lot of plant growth in and around it, and fish were breaching. I saw water birds, buzzards, and crows. I also saw butterflies and flies. People were out fishing and enjoying the calm water.

It was bright, sunny, and hot today. There was a slight breeze. The water looked a bit lower than last time.

The water didn’t stink like it did last time. There were still dead/discarded fish lying around and trash in and around the water.

There were people out fishing. I saw a good amount of fishing birds, goose poop and I’m assuming goose footprints. (I included a picture.) There were little fish swimming by and lots of bugs! I saw butterflies, flies, wasps, a cricket, and dragonflies.
