Summer time at Kesling Wetland









Kesling Wetland was full of water that later decreased in the coming months. In the summer there were many milkweed plants in full bloom, cattails, cottonwood trees, reed canary grass, abundant amounts of duckweed and water meal. Looking back at the photos of the Kesling Wetland during the summer months, it is surprising to notice how green and in full bloom all the plants displayed. Below are some pictures that present this statement. In July it was really humid and hot. There were a few rainy days, but not as many rainy days as hoped. In August it was defiantly drier than July and when entering September the vegetation was yellowing sooner than expected. In July and August the Canadian Geese took up residency on the lawn in the backyard of of Kesling house, so there was a lot of geese honking and poop down near the wetland. Summer is a a great time to explore the wetland, there's a lot of activity that happens in the heat.
