Ecological Notes:

• 30-35  eagles here each morning!
  

• I assume the last storm, combined with he high number of eagles, have led to a temporary lack of many shore birds right now

Facility Work:

• Stacked the firewood for splitting, you an see how waterlogged most of the recovered wood is.

• Swept and cleaned the generator building floors,the flies gather at windows in the buildings and student building, ongoing to keep it tidy
  

• Swept and cleaned the main house basement
  
• Sprayed down part of the walkway with algae remover, but unexpected light rain may negate the effect

Weather Events:

High tides and big wells move the big logs around like nothing. This is exactly why I removed the jetty fencing!
