This day ride from Bisbee, AZ travels northeast to Whitewater Draw, a roosting site for the Sandhill Crane which offers excellent viewing of other waterfowl as well. The best season to view the cranes is from October to March and sunrise/sunset are the best times of the day to see them. It really is quite a spectacle to see so many of them all at once.
There are large parking areas and overnight parking and camping is allowed.
