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.
