    109 Don Minaker Dr by Victoria Torkos

    It rained a lot the night before, so the water level was very high. There were many birds returning for the spring. I saw robins, red winged blackbirds and some little brown birds too. They were singing while perched in trees surrounding the pond.

    The water level today was normal. There were so many ducks today and geese along the path. This is also the second time I spotted Hooded Mergansers. This time, 2 males and 1 female in a group. Again they were distant from the geese and ducks. The sample I collected today has the potential to have more dirt debris because the ducks were kicking up the dirt.

    The water level today was normal. The ducks and geese have returned to the pond! There were so many. They hang out in the location where I scoop the water so the sample, I tested was murky. This is because they kicked up and moved the dirt.

    The water level today was low and it was hard for me to get a good sample away from dirt run off. This is why i think the nitrate is so high in this sample. There was still ice plates in the middle of the lake but majority of it was just water. No animals or birds today.
