Went on a solo patrol to put what I learned to the test! (Thanks Maria for a thorough training)!
I patrolled Zone 3 with a focus on Paige Brook and the Channel (3589, 3629, 3669, 3710, 3671, 3712, 3713, 3673, 3663, 3595, 3634, 3708, 3748, 3788, 3829, 3749) and Zone 2 along the north shore of the lake.
I didn't see anything unexpected but did see arrowhead, pickerelweed, pipewort, three-way sedge, floating hearts, watershields, white, yellow and pink water lily, bladderwort, native milfoil, tape grass, water naiad, and aquatic moss!
The non-plant life was also ample as I paddle boarded along - I saw a large snapping turtle and a few smaller ones, a beautiful blue heron, a family of loons, red mites, and many fresh water mussels.
Great patrol, Amy, you covered good territory. Notes were clear, informative and fun to read. Just wanted to confirm, you covered the Channel + Paige Brook over the grids mentioned and how far (grids) were you able to cover on the North shore? Or did you do the whole zone? Thanks again.
