I am considering going to either Magee Marsh or Point Pelee during the second week in May. Which is better for bird photography? The boardwalk at Magee Marsh seems ideal, from what I've heard: is it possible to get as close to birds at Point Pelee? I don't have a super - long lens: 300mm with a 1.4 extender.

As far as dates, I assume the ideal dates are comparable at each location, but correct me if wrong.

Finally, how about the crowds...Magee Marsh looks a little overwhelming: how about Point Pelee?

Thanks!
