The bountiful rainfall this fall pushed waters bank full in streams, ponds, reservoirs and wetlands across Kentucky, providing excellent habitat conditions for the opening of waterfowl season on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22. Duck populations remain strong. The population of redhead ducks, like these from a small Franklin County lake a few seasons ago, number about 1 million birds, 38 percent above the long term average for the species.
