Well, we appear to have a slight problem, don't we? I drove up to my field study location, which is a sandbar in a lake, and noticed that it was fully and completely under water. After some investigation, I concluded that the sand is at least two and a half feet under water. Now, how long it takes for the water to recede I do not know. I am open to suggestions as to how to reach it, perhaps with waders, or to observe from a dry vantage point. Anyway, I did not get many organism observations, and would like to request an extension into next week.
Date: October 31, 2018
Time: 3:41 -- 4:20
Weather: Sunny, no wind
Temperature: 52˚F
Temperature of the water: 52˚F
Length of Day: 10 hours, 19 minutes
Organism Observations: There were very few organisms, probably because I was basically observing from the road. All I saw was a crow fly by, and while driving on the way to the field study, I saw a deer on the side of the road just standing there at the edge of a field.
Organism Photographs: None
Other Photographs:
I observed from that concrete pipe in the foreground

The creek was flowing very quickly today!
Is this supposed to be a bridge?
That's what I have to go over to get to field study
We have had some rain but this change seems more significant than expected. Keep observing and see if you can figure out why such a significant change happened. Is it where more water is flowing into the lake beyond your stream?
