Winter break is around the corner and i was hoping to get out and shoot during the 2 weeks i have off from school. Any suggestions on where to go?

I'd head for the mountains or the coast. Vague, I know, but there is just so much scenery in this state that you can find good stuff all over the place.
I'd say that if you've got a telephoto you should definitely consider going to Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. I went there today and saw:
about 15 marmots
9 different species of hawks and falcons
5 types of ducks
and 5 great blue herons.
It's essential to get there early in the morning, (just about when the sun rises) to get the best shots. From my experience (two trips only. Going back soon) it's best to have someone drive you through and you sit in the back seat to be able to switch sides quickly. Also dress very warm even though it's an automotive trail.
