Cherry Valley Lions Memorial Park Boat Launch Dock by Don Ross
Hazy day with calm winds. No rain in past 24 hours. Red winged blackbirds all over the place in the marsh and some bugs out & about too. Fisherman had just come in to dock up. Got talking with some local folks here who were interested in what our tests were about so gave them some info and the card to look us up online.

Birdhouse City Pond by Don Ross
Sunny with some cloud cover rolling in...not very windy . No rain in past 24 hours. A nice family with 2 young children were out walking the trails here and were interested in what I was doing so they got involved in helping me and earned their sticker badges :) They discovered a water beetle and we got to watch a young muskrat swimming around the pond as a bonus for us all. Some ducks and songbirds around too. Under the surface of the water appears to be some green egg clusters I think...possibly frogs eggs?

No rain in past 24 hours. Sunny and clear skies today with moderate winds and gusting. No wildlife around today and what would normally be a busy holiday weekend here with tourists is not the case today with the Covid lockdown in place. Just a few small groups here and there taking in the scenery.

Ottawa River by Inga Chisholm
It's a beautiful Easter weekend. Lots of sunshine warm weather to come. The shore ice lasts for about three weeks after the river ice is gone. It's good for walking along if you're wearing crampons.
