Black River marsh outlet from stream by Don Ross
Mostly sunny with clouds forming and very calm….no rain in past 24 hrs. Lots of robins, bluebirds, and other songbirds around to be seen and heard…also Canada Geese. Pr of swans that normally are here are not around at this time. Some clusters of tiny bugs in the air and over the water surface. Not much flowing on this side of the culvert so level much lower than past spring measurements. County had been working earlier this month on doing somethings in the culvert to discourage beavers from damning it up so perhaps that’s why it’s lower now?
