10:32 hours of sunlight today
Temperature- 42 degrees
Today when I went out to my field study location, it was super dark. The sun was still out, but it was kinda rainy and super cloudy. There were lots and lots of ducks out on the water, and the one swan was still there also. I couldn't see the bottom of the water, it was super dark and cloudy. There also wasn't much algae on the surface of the water that I could hear. It was super noisy, because of the ducks and swans and also because the Zeeland Bird Bowl #2 was going on (Chix vs. Dux football game). The water didn't really seem any higher after all of the rain that we have had lately. The leaves on the trees are changing colors and falling.
This is a picture of the water.
Great to include video. Any pattern in that color change? Keep an eye on the edges to see if your water level is changing...you should be able to tell from vegetation and mud. Look at how your pond relates to the surrounding area, too, as this will influence how much fluctuation of water level occurs.
