Description
The culvert connecting the waters of Elizabeth and Crescent Lakes has been filling with muck for years. The fish no longer spawn in the canals leading to Crescent Lake. The canals are stagnant and my attempts to find a solution have failed. Apparently this isn't anybody's responsibility on any level of government.

I haven't seen a flat shelled turtle in years. They used to sun themselves on the banks in little groups. I've seen pheasant, a wild turkey, a green heron, a wood duck and a bald eagle in this neighborhood on occasions. Fox and, of course deer, are full time residents. The swan have taken over where the Canadian geese used to be in largest numbers. The mallards are only a handful now.
The ecosystem has changed so much since I first moved here14 years ago. It's becoming worn and stale. There's little else but blue gills in Crescent Lake now. There used to be walleye and lake perch.
I plan to do SOMETHING in the spring to help the water flow through here. Stay tuned.
