Kevin Graff,

What a great way to spend a summer!  I wish I could get away
and do it too.

If you have not been to any of these areas previously,  I would
recommend the following:

#1  ROCKY MTN. NATIONAL PARK  --  Great scenery and a
       tremendous diversity of birds... from Ptamigan & Mountain
       Bluebirds to the Paunee National Grasslands birds.

#2  BIG BEND Nat'. Park -- Also has great scenery & birds, but
       a little less diversity.  It is still a great place to go, and you
       can't go wrong by selecting this one either.

#3   VOYAGEURS NATIONAL PARK --  I have not been there 
       before, but it would offer northern habitats & birds that 
       would be quite different from our Eastern choices.

#4  GREAT SMOKEY MTNS NATIONAL PARK -- A beautiful
       location and a great place to spend a vacation.  It is last
       on my list only because the birds would be similar to what
       we have in this region.


Have fun in choosing your destination and in planning your
summer!

                                Larry
