I regret I am not too familiar with Shelburne Pond and yesterday was my  
first visit there, shame on me!  My observations were made from the parking  area 
at the fishing access.  I had excellent views of the night-herons and  the 
eagle also the patrolling terns.  I did not explore the trail into the  woods but 
that too may be productive.  A scope would be useful and a chair  to sit 
while observing the activity in the cattails immediately  ahead.
