Our most abundant species was the native redside shiner, with over 1600 making it upstream. The least common species was the invasive common carp, which we only caught 2 in the trap early in the summer.

Later that week, we teamed up with Oregon Fish and Wildlife to do some electrofishing at Krumbo Reservoir, targeting smallmouth bass that would be moved to Moon Reservoir.

During these last few weeks, my main duties have included conducting submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) surveys and duck banding.

July has been a rewarding month. As mentioned in my previous update, Lin (the Portland Audubon intern) and I had the opportunity to travel to Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Idaho.

So far during my internship here at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, I have been collecting data for irrigation and water rights use for the refuge. To do this, I have been using a Flow Tracker at each of the following four locations: East Canal, West Canal, Center Ditch, and Sodhouse.
