Nothing out of the ordinary today but I did notice the Joe Pye weed along the shoreline has come into bloom. It's not invasive and native to the area.
The pipewort has grown taller with buds.

I found many more plants than are noted on this map. Can I update it? None were unusual or invasive but it would be nice to be able to update it.

Nothing unusual. Many plants remain below the surface. Floating hearts, white lilies, tape grass, and sedges are emerging. I pushed a 12 foot long log with my paddle to the shoreline between the Hitchuk's and Perreca's, so no one would hit it while in a boat, paddleboard or other vehicle.

I did not see anything unusual but was getting to know my area. The pipework is beginning to grow up, and there were several homes with yellow Iris on the shoreline.

Plants are beginning to emerge above the water. Nothing unusual. Scooped out some trash. I also went into the pond at the previous nature center. There is a sandbar at the opening … I got out and pulled my kayak over. The pond is filling with pollen and plant growth. Nothing unusual.

Nothing significant to report. Most plants are below the surface. Picked up a bit of trash along the way. Found three dock pieces that floated away in the recent storm and returned them to their owner from Saxon Ave. I got lucky ... he was sitting on the beach and took his boat out to get them. They were wedged into the shoreline outside the Cullington's/previous ECCWW property.
