I have never seen the thousands of Tundra Swans at the NC coast in person. Only pics. Am hoping to go. But my calendar is only open for two weekends in Feb--1st and 3rd weekends. No time in Jan.
Is that too late to try to go see them before they migrate if I go in Feb?
I live in Chapel Hill, would like to go to the nearest, scenic area so see them to reduce travel time as much as possible. And then, find a good place, cheapy, but not gross, to stay overnight, somewhat, 'relatively' close to the site I can visit the swans.
Can you suggest the best 'guaranteed' areas to see the swans and decent hotels 'relatively' nearby? I don't expect anuything to be close and nearby. Maybe even a campground, if it is not too cold.
