My wife (Donna) and I arrived in Cambridge a bit before noon today.  I 
could be wrong but I don't think the Barrow's Goldeneye had been seen 
since early in the morning (8:30 am was suggested as a last seen time).  
We also did not see the Eurasian Wigeon though I heard it had been 
seen.  I thought I might have spotted the Barrows a couple of times 
actually (catching a glimpse of some yellow in the bill of a female 
Common or a head shape that looked convincing) but a conclusive sighting 
eluded me.  Later in the afternoon I saw 2 females inside the marina and 
one of the two looked quite promising until they both flew and I lost 
sight of one of them. 

Anyway I managed to see the Tufted Duck once when I first arrived and 
again late in the afternoon in the same spot.  It was most often visible 
from the small red & white building on the dock (that has been mentioned 
in previous posts).  The east side of the building also provided shelter 
from the wind.  I'm sure I'll go have another look if the Goldeneye 
continues to be reported but I don't otherwise foresee doing another 4.5 
hour vigil.

Regarding access to the yacht club ... I suspect that the "members only" 
sign refers to the parking lot and building as the one person I talked 
with (on the East side of the dock) was a local non-birder who was happy 
to have me show him the Tufted Duck he had heard others talk about.  He 
offered that I could go inside the yacht club and warm up if I wanted to 
which I respectfully declined.

It was nice to see the Tufted Duck anyway,
