West end of Hamlet of Milford at furthest west end of Millpond : Milford Millpond

Sunny day with some clouds and little winds. No rainfall for many days. Large grey water snake in the rocks along shore. Many waterbugs & dragonflies seen and can hear the crickets singing away. Couple of hawks circling above and Mourning Dove on the wires. Weeds and algae bloom much greater than a month ago. Spoke at length with a neighbour out walking her dog who asked what we were up to. Informed her about Water Rangers and directed her to the site and some other resources ( Quinte Conservation, Dept of Health, Ministries, campers associations, etc ) where she could follow up on a concern she had about issues on a lake near Belleville where she was going to send her kids to a camp.
