I've been to Herdsman Lake multiple times, at low and high water and stalked
along that boardwalk and around various other parts of the lake.  And apart
from the briefest of glimpses at two spotted crakes, I have seen neither
bittern nor crake, despite reports of both hanging around.

I got great looks at 3 Buff-banded rails there yesterday, but the other
skulky birds always elude me.

Any pointers on seeing these fellows?
