Ruddy Ducks are found in a very few select locations on Martha's Vineyard. Squibnocket Pond, and sometimes Menemsha Pond, both of which have shores in Chilmark and in Aquinnah, are the most likely haunts. "Ruddies" are seasonal (winter) visitors.
I placed these two flamboyant breeding-plumaged males on calm water reflecting an overhead section of wooden dock.
