[Oeserscave@xxxxxxx]

Two male Ruddy Ducks were present Saturday and Sunday at Cedar Hill Park in 
Madison, TN.  They were first spotted Saturday just before sunset, with tails 
erect and heads tucked.  The white cheek patches were distinct, along with the 
tail posture and white spot below.  Sunday afternoon they were diving, 
preening, and moving around the lake, sometimes coming within 50 feet of the 
shore by 
the dam/road, affording great views.  These were a TN first for me.

To reach Cedar Hill Park, take Interstate 65 north of Nashville to Old 
Hickory Boulevard, exit 91 I believe, and take Old Hickory west for 1 mile and 
turn 
right into the park.  Go straight on the main park road to the second left, 
which leads to a parking area next to the lake, which has a paved trail around 
it.  Best viewing is from the south side by the road/dam due to the southern 
sun position.
