Where to see a Ruddy Duck in Kentucky
The Ruddy Duck is regularly recorded in the counties of 8 Kentucky state parks (eBird historical checklists). The strongest bets:
- Lake Barkley State Park Airport
- Jefferson Davis State Park
- Mineral Mound State Park
- E. P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park
- Cherokee State Park
- Old Fort Harrod State Park
- Kentucky Dam State Park Airport
- Fort Boonesborough State Park
These are county-level records — the species is documented in the area around each park, which is a strong steer rather than a guarantee for the park itself.
