Austin Springs, Paddle Creek Ponds, Weir Dam Went to a few places today, with pretty good success. We met Don Carrier and birded until 2:00. Don had never been to Austin Springs or Paddle Creek Ponds so we showed him around. We had a very comfortable day of birding as the temperatures were very mild, not to many more like today.
