Time: 7:00 a.m.- 11:00 a.m.
Location: Shelburne Pond off of Pond Rd
Weather: sunny, slight wind coming off of the pond, 50-60ºF
Habitat: There was a large pond (at least 200 m wide and 800 m long) with many water shrubs and grasses submerged in it. Reeds and cattails dominated most of the pond edge except where there was exposed bedrock. Of the wooded surrounding area, there were sections of pine, hemlock, and cedar bluffs covering the ground in cones and needles as well as section of mixed woods with American Beech, birch, and hemlock trees. Many snags and downed trees were present in this area that seemed to have cavities or at least pecking holes in them. There was large agricultural fields behind this property which could contribute to some of the species found.
-My favorite birds today would definitely be the Wood Duck (Ducks are my favorite) and the Baltimore Oriole. I have never really seen birds that colorful besides small yellow birds like Am. Goldfinches.
Above water birds: Osprey
Open water birds: Ring-billed Gull, Mallard, Wood Duck, Canada Goose, Double-crested Cormorant
