My Amish birding friend and I were able to re-locate the Eurasian wigeon, after scanning through nearly 750 ducks.  The water has been drawn down enough to concentrate the ducks in a flooded cornfield at the east end of the last bridge before the dam on Rt.715.  (Look for an old metal bridge that has not been torn down, beside its replacement.  Park at the east end of this bridge.  There is a wide place to pull off.)

The Eurasian wigeon was feeding behind some vegetation, just to the left and out beyond the two oil wells.   It took us almost an hour to find this bird, so patience is required, as is a scope.

Good luck.
