Contributing photographer Rich Taylor found the Dungeness River still raging a couple of days after last week’s storm.

“I’m pretty sure this new tributary of the Dungeness River forming this waterfall is normally not there,” Taylor writes.

Tom Butler with the Dungeness River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park is building an ongoing database with information on the Dungeness River to supplement the center’s educational outreach programs and provide an overall resource.

‘In the midst of consecutive rain events, Butler collects turbidity (clarity of a liquid) measurements of the Dungeness River, Wednesday, Dec. 10, noting relatively high measurements given the amount of sediment and particles suspended in the water because of heavy rainfall and higher river conditions.
