Michigan: sandhill crane viewing
Sandhill crane migration is at its peak late October through late November, which means now is your chance to see enormous flocks of up to tens of thousands of cranes as they migrate south to their wintering grounds.
The best time of day to view sandhill cranes is before 10 a.m. and after 2 p.m. as they gather to roost in marshes or agricultural fields.
