First Observation 10/21

Lots of activity in the my Fountain City Duck Pond sample number 11. Very large organisms eating and moving, some slow some very fast. As Identified thus far I have seen many what I assume are dead seed shrimp. Large worms, midge larva both very active. Many Rotifers and tons of Cyanobacteria surrounded by many little moving things yet to be identified they are moving rather fast hard to track. With the help of Dr. McFarland a Stylaria Annelida and Epistylis Cilia were both identified. The environment is a hostile one for sure. Definitely a survival of the fittest scenario. Video and pictures to come in the following weeks.
