If anyone sees the Tufted Duck today, could you please let everyone know?  I'll 
try to see it tomorrow if it's still around.  Thanks!

Here is the latest pin from eBird Checklist with the Tufted Duck on it. 

44.541924,-92.388397

Again, if you put those coordinates into Google Maps, it will take you to the 
pin. 

Best of luck,
Alex

Alex, thanks for posting, and thanks to Ben for sleuthing alternative
access. Though it's doubtful my schedule---and the weather--will get me
there anytime soon, maybe the bird will stick around awhile. I'm sure
others appreciate it as well.

Re: [mou-net] Tufted Duck Refound

[Alex Sundvall]

Ben Douglas has done some more sleuthing and has found this:
"I'm betting this is the hike-in location on Hill Ave. 44.534389,-92.392925 if
you use Google Street view you can see state park signage and a two-lane
track into the disjunct state parkland that would be southeast of the noted
viewing coordinates"
The original finders today have said this: "We walked the trail (of the
coordinates posted above) until we could either go left or right along a
cornfield and went left until the cornfield ended and we were at the river."

For those who don't know, you can put those coordinates into the google
maps search field and that will get you to the location.

Hope someone can refind it and the location and provide more detailed
information on how to view the bird.
