Milford Millpond
Milford, Ontario, Canada
Waterfalls feed into this end of the Millpond at most times of the year other than in summer dry spells. Spring and fall are when they are running well. Will be taking regular readings from the east side of the bridge. Water from this millpond flows over the damn at the eastern end of the pond into the Black River which then flows out eventually on a long winding path into Lake Ontario .

Partly cloudy with no rain in past 24 hours. Large fish ( sucker maybe ?) jumped to catch bugs just as I arrived. Dragonflies abundant here. Fair amount of green algae.Barely a trickle of water flowing over the stream & waterfalls above here now.
Overcast and just spitting rain lightly for a few mins as I left. No rain in past 24 hours. Waterfalls drying up and hardly any flow now. Heard bullfrogs, birds and saw mosquitoes, water bugs and dragonflies. Pair of swans that are normally here with their singlets not around at this time….may be on the other end of the pond.
Sunny clear sky with no rain in past 24 hours. Could hear lots of songbirds and the waterfalls nearby.
Sunny calm day with just a few clouds in the sky. Had 15.6 MM rain overnight with a thunderstorm. Green frog hopped into the pond and tadpoles seen too where I gathered the water. Songbirds were heard and 3 or 4 loons seen out on the pond diving for fish.
Sunny calm day with just a few clouds. No rain in past 24 hours, but since we’ve had 108 MM rain since Oct 22nd the river & waterfalls are once again flowing into the Millpond. No wildlife around this end of the pond but lots of Canada Geese down at the other end.
Mostly sunny day with a few clouds and very windy. No rain in past 24 hours. Single swan swimming on the pond further up from here. Weedy at this end as usual.
Hot, humid and hazy with not much wind and no current on the pond. No rain in past 24 hours. Few swans on the pond at the eastern end, and some dragonflies catching bugs over the water surface. Lots of heavy weeds on both sides of the bridge here and no water at all coming over the waterfalls and stream for quite some time now.
Sunny with some clouds forming, windy and humid. Only 1 MM rain in past 24 hours. Few Canada Geese families feeding in the weeds near our test spot, songbirds, moths and dragonflies around too. So much green algae everywhere. Waterfalls and river feeding it and the pond are totally dried up with so little rain for well over a month.
Mostly sunny skies with a few clouds and wind mild but picking up a bit more. No rainfall in past 24 hours. Waterfalls above here are still flowing but not much due to drought and may dry up soon without some decent rainfall. Some songbirds around and earlier in the day there were swans with 4 singlets in tow on the pond. Some green algae bloom, pollen and scummy looking stuff floating in pockets where trapped in some spots.
Sunny with hazy sky forming over now. No rain in past 24 hours. Pair of Canada Geese swimming along with 5 or 6 goslings in between them. Pair of swans further out in the millpond.
