If I manage to get organized and movtivate I'd like to do an overnight trip to one or the other areas over Labor Day weekend. For birding I would think the whole McGee Marsh area near Port Clinton would be my first pick. However I would also like to see Otters and think I might have a better shot at Muscatatuck NWR in Indiana. I would also like to do a little wildlife kayaking. Muscatatuck is about 20 minutes closer which isn't a big deal either way. Any inputs?
