Observations

    Old Trace Park by Jennifer Sigrest

    Windy with rainstorm nearby during sampling. A few days of afternoon storms this week. The rocks stacked by the shoreline are getting overrun with mud during rainstorms at the sampling site. Not sure if this may impact water quality results as it runs into the water right at the sampling site.

    Natchez Trace Overlook by Nicole Mills

    I only had 2 Rcards so I had only two tests to report. Mayflies around again.

    Oily film on all of the water that I could see and it was very still

    Pearl River at Carroll Loop by Theresa Thornhill

    I may have messed up the Dissolved Oxygen test. The water is SO low right now that I couldn't get down to it with both lids of the bottles on to remove them under the water and then fill. It was just too precarious for me to do that.

    East Spillway by LeAnn Nealey

    A dozen or so herons, a few egrets and six geese on exposed sandbar mid-river; several fish breaking the surface and many aquatic bugs on surface of river; very calm surface. River low, several wide sand bars and dead falls exposed. Water flow at spillway through one gate and a small amount of flow through a second gate.

    West Spillway Dock by Laura Luke

    There were fishing birds and crows, butterflies, dragonflies, and wasps. There were some little bugs hopping and darting around the water’s edge that I didn’t recognize. A few people were out fishing and there wasn’t as much litter as there normally is. A very pretty sunny day!
