Will's Field Journal #6
I visited Shelburne Pond at 7:49 am on Sunday, April 18th. I arrived at the fishing access point and walked about a mile through the UVM trails that exist on the west side of the pond. These trails go through cedar dominated forest, as well as beech-maple dominated forest. The weather was cloudy and it rained lightly when I arrived for maybe 10 minutes. It was 46˚ F and I left after 70 minutes.

Flushed a pair from a tree fairly deep in the woods. Seemed like a strange place for them to be!
