Hello Heather, At Black Swamp Bird Observatory we work a number of local lodging establishments (as well as many other businesses) through our Black Swamp Birds and Business Alliance. Thse businesses help support bird conservation and often offer discounts for birders! Since this is a bit off topic for the listserv, I'll respond to you and Mary privately with more details. Thanks!
