ISO vantage spot for black terns, sandhill cranes

[Anne Williams]

I have house guests this weekend who are interested in trying for the nesting black terns and sandhill cranes at the southern end of Messalonskee lake.

I have seen them in the past from a clearing opposite Hancock Lumber, but wonder if that is the most reliable spot to look for them.

Also is there a time of day when they are most active?

Alas, we will have no boat to get out onto the lake, so we have to depend on a pullover from the road.

Thanks for any suggestions,
