Global News in Edmonton had a warning about blue/green algae on Lake Isle. Don't swim, don't eat the fish, etc. They also said that the cycle of blue/green algae is only a 'few days' - however I wouldn't have a clue how to judge if it was gone or not.

They didn't say anything about pigeon, however.

lots of whites (and burbs) die there every summer; shame it's usually the really big ones
cheers

Was there sat, it wasn't bad but I don't know what it looks like in the spring. Only saw one dead white fish, and it was big!
