The grassess were high and some were going to seed. There is a mixture of wildflowers. There is aquatic vegatation present such as millifoil and algae. There is for-get -me -nots that are blooming on the shoreline. There are FMN that are fully submerged underwater and have grown underwater. The algae is dark green puck shaped and long strings that resemble cladaphoria. There was no wildlife present but there was a lot of traffic in this rural area for a Saturday morning.

Crystal Creek Case Rd by Community Volunteers
Be safe and prepared with tick ger to walk through the long grasses and meadow wildflowers. There is a large debris of natural nature, it is not related to beavers. The tree fell in the winter season and has been slowly moving closer to the culvert whenever there are large rainfall events. I have been monitoring the tree if it is to make its way to the culvert this site could become dangerous to sample. I will continue to monitor and give updates on the status of the monitoring site. There is no evidence of sea lampreys in the gravel sand bed. It has been 5 weeks since the sea lampreys were discovered at site #16. A robin(Turdus migratorius) was seen bathing in the creek.
