Lake George

Aquatic Vegetation is really high and thick in the marsh. Observed a brown slush type substance floating on top of water in stagnant areas where water was not moving.

Lots of activity in the Marsh. I was happy to see that most of the skim from the oil spill had dissipated. Lots of Painted Turtles, Virginia Rails, Osprey, Marsh Wren, Red-winged Blackbirds, Great Blue Herons, Muskrat and River Otter were all observed. Aquatic vegetation is really starting to show up as well with the warmer weather.

Observed Common Carp in Marsh, as well as Painted Turtles, Least Bittern, Red-winged Blackbirds, Pied-Billed Grebes, Great Blue-Heron, and American Widgeon.

Currently a water advisory on for the TWP of Macdonald, Meredith and Aberdeen Additional due to an Oil spill into the St. Mary's River. Did observe oil sheen in the standing water within the Marsh from the spill, or possibly marine traffic.
