Notes

The water level is down about 18”. The beaver is harvesting trees. Canadian geese are using the lake as a stop point. 3 we’re here and left early afternoon. The rock shows the normal water level unfortunately I don’t think it show well in the photo. Fish are jumping. The loon family is gone. The duck family is gone. Most of the leaves have turned. Would love to do more comprehensive tests.
