April 17, 2014 Water Monitoring Report

Water quality monitoring and several other projects will continue for 2014 due to a grant extension.  Thursday was the first day back on the lake, and it felt great after a very long winter.  Things are pretty normal for this time of year; the water is high, and there are many migratory birds on the lake, more than I have seen in years past.  I counted 43 Common Loons, 3 Bald Eagles, numerous diving ducks and 5 Trumpeter Swans at the mouth of the river to name just a few.  Looking forward to another year on the lake.
