Notes

Sunny day, out collecting benthics amongst the dense aquatic plants to the left of the boat launch.

Quite a few people out on the water today enjoying this weather. A family in a small metal boat fishing just off shore amongst the weeds. Many damselflies and dragonflies buzzing around the swamp.
