This afternoon (June 16) Team Pipit discovered three Great Egrets and a Caspian Tern at the Shelburne Access in Shelburne.  The Caspian Tern was working  the channel where the LaPlatte River comes into the bay; the egrets were originally together in the marsh to the left (west) of the rocky point that juts out into the bay from the end of the parking area.  One of the egrets was an adult in breeding plumage; the other two appeared to be nonbreeding birds (no plumes and bill greenish-yellow rather than bright yellow).
