There has been a lack of mallards and widgeons and also fewer geese this winter. There was a pair of loons spotted this winter. Because the water is tannin in coloration, it is assumed that some or most of the oxygen demand in the hypolimnion is chemical in nature and not necessarily biological. All TSI values support an oligotrophic assessment. TSI values for chlorophyll and total phosphorus were supplied by Thurston County Environmental Health as were the DO profiles.
Shoreline drops steeply in most areas, plant community pretty homogeneous.
Conducted habitat survey for Dave Hallock.
