I was able to find the Male TUFTED DUCK fairly quick at Cliffton Court
Forebay.  The bird was near the entrance where the channel exits out into
the forebay.  The duck was actually pretty close giving me beautiful looks.
More detailed directions, right when enter you can see the lake turn right
which takes you out to a point.  There should be water on both sides of you,
a pennisula, and the duck was right off the end, in the channel side.  Also,
there was 2 BARROW'S GOLDENEYE in the channel where the water exits the
forebay on the South side  The canal crosses Byron Highway.
I also looked for the Little Blue Hero with no luck.
