Marshall Lake After Tropical Storm Beta
Sept 26, 2020
by Kent Walters

NL-2020-10 KW ML II

 

CONDITIONS:

Water Level: 4.2 bars (high –paddled through the saddle in the peninsula)

NOTE: Last week was low at 11 bars

Temperature: not bad (mid 80s) – nice and cool in the shade

Clouds: Mostly Sunny with scattered clouds

Wind: variable, from 1-3 mph

Distance covered: 4 miles

 


 

I decided to go back to Marshall Lake to see the differences in the lake after Tropical Storm Beta.  It was a nice day, and the little lake was hopping, but most of the activity was on shore.

 

Nature I observed included: little blue and green herons, a great egret, a female cardinal, a squirrel, frogs, fish, turtles, dragonflies, damselflies and Cub Scouts.

 

Like last week, I’ll just post some of my photos in chronological order
