DNA can confirm the source(s). The Weirs beach has had this problem on an off for many decades. Waterfowl can certainly cause a problem. After this many days, I would have expected a constant source than birds or dogs. Have any particularly large families or RV's left the area recently?

Birds are a Huge source of contamination, particularly in areas where people feed them. Given that the beach had signs posted for two weeks with limited people, I would have suspected a nearby problem upstream.
