Hi Scotty (and everyone), You can find information on local lodging, plus info on local restaurants, directions to multiple bird-finding sites, predictions for the migration, and a lot more, on the Birding Pages of the Black Swamp Bird Observatory: http://www.bsbo.org/Birding/ BSBO has been a research organization for years (and still is), but it's now also the source for birding info for the whole Magee Marsh / Crane Creek area.

Well, I have managed to finagle a few days off from work to head up to Magee Marsh this week, but I don't have a place to stay yet. Could someone recommend a cheap, no frills place near-by to stay, maybe within a 30-40 mile radius? Please email me or post with your suggestions as I would love to be able to spend a few days, but finances are limited.
