| Gauge Reading | 1600 cfs at MIDDLE FORK SNOQUALMIE RIVER NEAR TANNER, WA |

In partnership with the Forest Service, American Whitewater coordinated a harlequin duck survey of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River by boat. This report is from one group that included 2 kayaks and raft that began on the Upper Middle. Participants included Tom, Jennie, Rachel, Andrew, Malia, and Mark. We saw two female megansers at the top of First Island Drop and a pair of harlequin ducks on one of the rocks on the right side in A Frame Rapid.
At this flow it was approximately 2.5 hours on the Upper Middle and 2 hours on the Middle Middle for total run of approximately 5 hours that included a break for lunch. This report includes photos from the portion of the run on the Middle Middle.
