22295 27 Jun 2022 @ 0835 --- MAB Little W vent blips visible even when Constant is full not just when Constant is low
21493 25 May 2022 @ 1023 --- Graham Small gravel area close to the bench is sputtering cyclicly. Increases during Constant pushes and stops about 15 minutes later.
16945 28 Apr 2021 @ 0930 28 Apr 2021 @ 1135 MAB Full of debris - tiny blips from vent visible when Constant isn't flooding it
12871 29 Jul 2019 @ 1000 --- MAB Observations throughout the day show Little Whirligig's vent with vigorous bubbles, strong palpitations and concentric waves... during the low point of Constant's refill cycle, ie about 10 min post Constant with no water flowing down the ramp
10030 04 Sep 2018 @ 1007 --- novakg To my eye, it looks like Little Whirligig has more sand and gravel in it along the Contant runoff area.
8608 09 Jun 2018 @ 1500 --- novakg Scratches in the bacterial mat.
1179 07 Jul 2014 @ 1200 07 Jul 2014 @ 1800 JSJ Intermittent, very low & very small burbling/bubbling.  Observed during the afternoon of 7 July 2014.
4851 20 Aug 1985 @ 1800 --- research-mab 8/20/1985 Little Whirligig Geyser = 152º- relatively cool. Geyser-dormant. In the last half week in Porcelain Basin I have not seen even the faintest stir in the pools water. Geyser-dormant.
7622 11 Feb 1984 @ 1800 --- research-mab 02/11/1984 Little Whirligig Geyser - Dormant. Snow in basin.
4757 11 Jun 1982 @ 1200 --- research-mab 6/11/1982 Naturalist Orientation tour: Big Whirligig overflows, put, put put B. Whirlie – gen 3-10 min when active, interval 30-40 min to 1 hr Little Whirlie - like constant, sometimes every 30 sec, 20 min to 1 hr for series {BRACKET AROUND BOTH, ABOVE: Most years 1 is active, 1 dormant – apparently both dormant this year}
4616 23 Sep 1980 @ 1800 --- research-mab LITTLE WHIRLIGIG 9/23/1980 Geyser Gazer Grover S observed The Whirligigs alternating eruptions
4612 21 Sep 1980 @ 1800 --- research-mab 9/21/1980: Little Whirligig came out of dormancy today! Perhaps with eruptions out of Big so frequently, Big decided to share some of its water. Lil’ Whirli ie at 1611, quit approx 12 min later
4602 09 Sep 1980 @ 0000 --- research-mab 9/9/1980 Little Whirligig – Dormant. Vent filled with water from Constant. 108ºF
4601 30 Aug 1980 @ 0000 --- research-mab 8/30/1980 Lil Whirligig has been dormant the last few days
4600 27 Aug 1980 @ 1415 --- research-mab No time August 27, 1980 Again today Valentine looks like a huge fumerole. Guardian is also steaming. Big Whirligig has been very active today erupting at 1330 and again at 1415, for an interval of 45 minutes. The chugging noise could be heard at the museum. It looks like near by Little Whirligig has become dormant.
4597 15 Aug 1980 @ 0000 --- research-mab Little Whirligig was drained and inactive all day.
4596 14 Aug 1980 @ 0900 --- research-mab (No time given- 1st log entry 8/14) Little Whirligig erupted emptied and refilled never letting big Whirligig in on the action
4595 12 Aug 1980 @ 1335 --- research-mab 08/12/1980 NOTE Little Whirligig times for an hour, varying heights – about every 2m
5080 22 Jun 1980 @ 1800 --- research-mab 06/22/1980 Little Whirligig erupted for 47 minutes bursting 25 times. Initial bursts occurred every 1 ½ minutes. After 10 bursts the interval increased to 2 min. By the 20th burst intervals were as long as 3m45seconds. The last of Little Wirligig’s eruption was the grand finale. Bursts occurred frequently until it was going continuously. Finally Constant erupted using the last of Little Wirligig’s hot water. At the end of the eruption Big Wirligig re-filled, but hasn’t been seen in eruption yet this year.
4976 09 Jun 1980 @ 1650 --- research-mab 06/09/1980 TIME:1650 Little Whirligig series full data: 1544:20, 1546:05, 1547:24, 1548:44, 1550:04, 1551:25, 1552:48, 1554:00 (w/Constant 1554:25), 1555:22, 1556:58, 1558:14, 1559:36, 1600:55, 1602:30, 1603:58, 1605:25, 1606:32, 1609:07, 1611:48, 1614:29, 1617:46, 1620:25, 1623:53, 1627:26, 1627:59 (No drain), 1638:08, 1647:47, 1641:19, 1646:52, 1647:47, 1648:17, 1648:47, 1649:47 (Then drained)
5069 05 Oct 1979 @ 1800 --- research-mab 10/05/1979 The Whirligigs performing in dual, strong eruptions seems to be the present pattern.
5061 23 Aug 1979 @ 1800 --- research-mab 08/23/1979 Little wirligig erupted then Big Wirligig filled… Big Wirligig SAT there for 15 minutes but never went so little wirligig began to refill. Constant erupted and shortly thereafter so did Big Wirligig. Oh well – made into a liar again by Geysers. {no times in log}
5055 07 Aug 1979 @ 1020 --- research-mab 08/07/1979 one hour between Big Whirly and Little Whirly erupt Big Whirly erupted 17 minutes after Little Whirligig’s eruption Little Wirligig erupted before the pool filled. Water reached about 2’ from the vent when the continuous, weak, short eruption occurred.
5049 21 Jul 1979 @ 1100 --- research-mab 07/21/1979 Time between end of Little Whirligigs eruption and beginning of Big wirligig: 42 minutes. Big Wirligig had a long eruption of 10 minutes at 1033, When Little Wirligig erupted following the “big” of Big Wirligig, it was weak and only reached 10’ in height.
5038 19 Jul 1979 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/19/1979 Little Whirligig had an unusual eruption immediately preceding a heavy Africa surge. Its bursts were continuous at about normal height, then it stopped when Africa started in earnest.
5033 13 Jul 1979 @ 1030 --- research-mab 07/13/1979 Little Whirligig appears to be getting higher (bursts up to 22’)
5027 10 Jul 1979 @ 1800 --- research-mab NOTE 07/10/1979 The wirligigs [sic] made a lier [sic] out of me today. Big wirligig [sic] erupted for 10 minutes instead of 3-4min. Little wirligig [sic] erupted for 10 minutes. This was shorter than previous times of 16 min. There was a 38 minute wait between Little wirligig’s [sic] eruption compared to last weeks wait of 6 minutes.
20601 05 Jul 1979 @ 1259 --- research-mab 07/05/1979 Chart in 1979 Log – maths don’t add up – times entered in GT are not necessarily those by the log entrant - see attachment https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51722344421_7eddb3b9f2_4k.jpg
5009 25 May 1979 @ 1800 --- research-mab 05/25/1979 Little Whirligig – occasionally active with many bursts – approx 30 sec. Apart lasts 5-10 min. temp 182 at vent during eruption.
5333 24 Jul 1978 @ 1415 --- research-mab 07/24/1978 3:00 pm Walk – 1400 hrs.

Constant 2x Dark cavern many times Africa Fireball Moxie Blue Iris Spring Porcelain Springs
4966 01 Apr 1978 @ 1800 --- research-mab 04/01/1978 Little Whirligig seems to have been active all day – was jetting water whenever it was seen.
5293 31 Aug 1976 @ 1136 31 Aug 1976 @ 1815 research-mab 08/31/1976 Little Whirligig has been active about every 15 min. (Still erupting 1815) - {see complete text of disturbance note under "Whirligig 1830"}
5533 26 Jun 1976 @ 1400 26 Jun 1976 @ 1430 research-mab 06/26/1976 Little Whirligig has gone bananas! Between ~2:00 – 2:30 the features sent blasts of water (approx 18-20 hi max) into the air over 100 times. Ave interval between blasts = 15-17 sec. Big Whirligig erupted shortly after L.W. stopped at 1435
5526 30 May 1976 @ 1800 --- research-mab 05/30/1976 Water fills in throat of Little Whirligig prior to an eruption of Big Whirligig.
5688 09 Sep 1975 @ 1800 --- research-mab 09/09/1975 All eruptions of Little Whirligig that I’ve observed in the last few days have been very similar. All last approx 6 min. Water ejected is milky gray, beginning to diminish the orange iron deposits. Burst[s] occur in rapid succession at the beginning of the eruption but are separated by several seconds by the end.
5854 19 Sep 1974 @ 1800 --- research-mab 09/19/1974 Little Whirligig appears to be doing the same today as it did yesterday.
5852 18 Sep 1974 @ 1800 --- research-mab 09/18/1974 Big Whirligig would fill – would remain filled 15-20 min. L.W. would then begin erupting – after about 5 min B.W. would drain. L.W. would continue – B.W. was not observed in eruption all day.
5794 28 Aug 1974 @ 1840 --- research-mab 08/28/1974 Constant – Completely dry at 1840 – L.W. was wet - had apparently been erupting.
5762 15 Aug 1974 @ 1800 --- research-mab 08/15/1974 Little W – gray clay in crater but dry.
5751 14 Aug 1974 @ 1800 --- research-mab 08/14/1974 Big Whirligig – Became muddier as the day progressed – L.W. was not seen in eruption today (at least in p.m.)
5755 14 Aug 1974 @ 1800 --- research-mab 08/14/1974 Little W – cold & dry. New channel from Constant leads into LW
5744 30 Jul 1974 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/30/1974 Whirligigs Water is milky blue, depositing pale gray sediment in LW crater and runoff. Water of Constant is clear. {disturbance note all day}
5742 28 Jul 1974 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/28/1974 BW & LW – Big has been very active today – only one observation of LW {no time noted}– very short eruption; appears that we may be losing Little W.
5722 08 Jul 1974 @ 1800 --- research-mab 07/08/1974 Whirligigs = same pattern as last 2 days, except LW seen erupting 1540 – finished 1602 (Big W dry)
5710 18 Jun 1974 @ 1800 --- research-mab 06/18/1974 {1800 in log } Just before leaving I noticed weird happenings down @ L&B Whirligig. Both were in eruption simultaneously & Little had drained quite a bit so that the red-orange colors was really vivid due to the iron oxides being bared. Big’s eruption consisted of a grayish-milky water while Little’s was still clear. Both continued in eruption together for about 30 minutes until I left. A mean thunderstorm caught about 20 people out there. Will be interesting to see what transpires @ B & L Whirligig tomorrow! Just as I’m, leaving I notice L& B Whirligig are both “dried” & drained & Constant is erupting up to about 5’.
6197 01 Oct 1973 @ 1700 --- research-mab 10/01/1973 Porcelain Basin 5:00 pm Little W stopping frequently for 20-30 min

6023 28 May 1973 @ 1350 28 May 1973 @ 1655 research-mab 05/28/1973 Little Whirligig is drained & silent. 1:55 Red bubbler (1 yd W of boardwalk – between L. Whirligig and Pinwheel – same described as yesterday) is full, barely bubbling with slight runoff. 1:57 Robin nest not tended, (bird was on nest at 815am) 158 Red bubbler observations : draining. 200 slight rise and fall of water level with 1” variation, high level at 3” 205 water level drops 1” - varies now between 1”-2” in pool 208 ½ Little Whirligig starts active period of eruptions, red bubbler doesn’t bubble. 212 Red bubbler slowly spreads, now with slight overflow “& tinest of bubbles 214 bubbling increases → steady overflow 217 bubbling increases but not vigorous 220 bubbling increases more but with no splashing, just waving motions 225 bubbling decreases 226 bubbling increases 228 ½ bubbling decreases & stops → overflow stops 231 water level drained to pool rim 231 ½ water level drained to 1” from bottom and began rising & falling motion again 233 ½ water drained to bottom then rose & fell a coupld of times with 1” variation 235 water rises to pool rim 236 slight rising & falling but still at pool rim 237 rises above pool rim 240 water has slowly filled depression around pool to pt. Of overflow & overflow begins 241 slight bubbling begins 244 bubbling increases 248 ½ bubbling decreases & stops, overflow stops 249 ½ bubbling starts again; overflow continues 252 bubbling decreases 255 bubbling stops, overflow stops 256 water slowly drained to pool edge 257 water drained to top of rocks in bottom then rises & falls to height of 1” only 257 ½ drained completely 302 water level rose to 1/2” drained completely, rose to 1/2”, drained completely ← repeated several times 302 ½ water level rises to 1” –- alternates between 1” and 2” 306 water level rises to 2” –- alternates between 2” and 3” 307 water level rises to pool rim 311 filled to point of overflow 312 drained to pool rim level 314 drained to 1” from bottom 315 drained completely 317 starts rising to ½ “ water, then drains completely → alternates between 1/2” & no water 322 filled to rim of pool Cow elk feeding just south of Crackling Lake 328 water level 1” above pool rim 329 water level dropped to pool rim 332 water dropped to 2” level 336 water filled to pool rim 338 filled to overflow & did ____ nothing else there mab 341 bubbling begins then stops 344 muddy spring – gas escapes – hardly any moisture in bottom of depression 429 Little Whirligig ceased activity & drained Dimensions Little red bubbler: 17” x 10” widest pt; 27”s diameter of circle at pt of runoff (high water level is 4”) Muddy spring: high water line forms a circle of ~46” diameter, ~6” deep; low level water (recently) – pool 10” x 20”, 3” deep Little Whirligig began a new active period at 4:55 Duration (2:09-4:29) = 2hrs20min; + inactive period of 26 mins, interval of 2hrs 46 min. The point (of interest) of the little red bubbler observations was in part to see what pattern of activity it has & to puzzle if these could be any relationship to the activity of L. Whirligig. As the little bubbler filled & drained at least several times (sometimes without overflow) while L.Whirligig was playing, there seems no apparent relationship. While the little bubbler filled & drained in its sequences, no noticeable change was observed in the rather vigorous activity (bubbling) of the other red (small) pools located further out from the boardwalk.
