I went over a decade ago with Summit Workshops. It's a photography workshop
but it's led by some stellar conservation photographers, Michael Forstberg,
Melissa Groo and David Showalter. Besides taking us to some off the beaten
path spots, they booked the viewing blinds for evening and morning
viewing. As I recall, the blinds book up way ahead so if you are
interested in that, I'd check with them now. The Audubon Center at Rowe
Sanctuary would probably be the best place to start.
https://rowe.audubon.org/. There are farm fields around the area where
the Cranes forage during the day, although be mindful of the roads as they
are mostly on private farmlands. We just drove around to find them, but I
think you might also find that information at the Sanctuary. The thousands
of Cranes flying in during the evening was one of the top 5 experiences of
my lifetime. It was breathtaking. Hope you have a good experience.
