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

Overcast with some sunny breaks and calm winds. No rain in past 24 hours. No flow to the water and the waterfalls remain bone dry. Consistent depth of the millpond despite the summer drought is proof positive of underground spring as source of this pond. Many swans and geese congregating on the water. Some songbirds and crickets can be heard and a large black water snake slid into the pond from the rocks as I went for my sample. Fair # of weeds seen under the surface but not much green algae bloom on top now as there is in mid-summer.
