birding in August?

Hi all,

I'm a high school teacher, and have the summer off -- it looks like I  
will have some time to travel in August & I was wondering if anyone  
might have some recommendations.  I know a lot of the local birding  
activity (I'm in upstate New York) has died down by August -- picks  
up again in mid-September with migration.  So, I'm wondering if  
anyone has a recommendation for somewhere that might be good birding  
in late summer.  I'd love to go somewhere exotic, but realistically  
(from a time & money perspective) I'm probably looking at US, Canada,  
or western Europe.

Any recommendations?

thanks,
