Michigan or Maine were, unfortunately, my two favoured spots as I particularly
want to photograph snowy owls, great grey owls, hawk owls etc. These species
all
tend to get pushed south by the winter weather and places like Michigan and
Maine are the best spots to find them.
I have travelled widely in the States in summer months to photograph and see
wild birds. Haven't done Florida yet, which is especially good for
photographing
birds, as its been done to death by others. Same with Denali NP. This year I'm
thinking of (very likely actually) doing Glacier NP in Montana and Waterton
Lakes, just across the border in Canada.

Dead right. This is a top destination for UK birders, but again the cold,
freezing months are best when the cranes and Steller's Sea Eagles move in.
However, Japan is absolutely the most expensive place in the world to visit -
even out in the sticks. I know several people who have been to Japan and tried
to do it on the cheap, but it still worked out *very* expensive. Would love to
go though.
Regards
John.
