Diane, I'm from the Eastern Shore.  The Kiptopeke area will probably provide 
your best birding at a closer drive.  You can bird in the state park and on the 
beach and then go over to the eastern side to the wildlife refuge.  Sunset 
Beach is not expensive and I think the accomodations are all right, but I've 
never stayed there.  There is also a nice B&B owned by a former teacher of mine 
called Pickett's Harbor.  Or there are probably a few B&B's in Cape Charles 
which is about 5 miles north and worth a visit as well.  Here is a website for 
the B&Bs, http://www.bbonline.com/va/easternshore/region3.html .  Have fun!

  I accidentally sent this to Julie yesterday instead of to the group.  Here's 
my request.


  I know Christmas Eve is not the best time to send out a request, but I'll be 
reading feedback into next week.  I'd like to spend a couple of days birding 
and relaxing on the Eastern Shore early in January, preferably closer to VA and 
thus less driving.  The Blue Heron looks good near Chincoteague, but that's 
farther than I want to drive if something is closer, perhaps near Kiptopeke.  I 
saw that the Sunset Beach Inn near the cape is very close to birding and has 
hosted birding events.  Let me know recommendations.  Price is probably a key 
factor.  I'm often frugal, and sometimes downright cheap, but I might move away 
from budget accomadations if something sounded nifty and not too expensive.  
Closeness to good food is also a plus.  Other attractions can also be a factor.

  Thanks,

  Diane Bumpass
