After birding Middlebrook Lake yesterday, Gary Cooper, John Hay, and I finished our cold Saturday GBBC by visiting Paddle Creek Ponds in Sullivan County. Should you visit, please note that the upper pond gate was locked, so we had to back out and turn around midway. It was very muddy in in the lower areas.
