LNR-1
few days
6Sept07
LNR-2
No wildlife observed.
6Sept07
LNR-3
Osprey
2Oct07
No wildlife observed. River higher than last two trips (average for this time of year, per Luki). Little bits of foam
LNR-1
coming down the river.
2Oct07
pH readings here highly variable. pH higher here than in the middle channel. Variable pH may be a result of
fluxuating flows between water near the bank and the main river. Traveled upriver along the bank about 100 meters
LNR-1a
and measured pH at 7.00.
2Oct07
No wildlife observed. No foam coming down river here. Temperature reading on YSI meter is fluxuating (probably
LNR-2
due to the mixing of the Mulchatna River into the Nushagak River).
2Oct07
LNR-3
No wildlife observed. No foam, no debris.
2Oct07
LNR-3a
Surface film visible on water.
2Oct07
LNR-d3a
Surface film still present. Some (minimal) bubbles/foam.

water; water really high.
