Duck Decoys

Decoys at Shelburne Museum, by David S. Webster (TPB, 1971, $5, which is 1/3 the current internet price.)

Included are decoys of all kinds of birds: ducks (both divers and marsh ducks), geese, swans, brants, and various shore birds. (There are even "confidence decoys" which are not shaped like the birds being hunted, and may not even be birds. All that is needed is for them to make the area feel safe to a passing bird.) Unfortunately only one of the photos is in color.

Look for this book in the sports (hunting) section, avail. 10/21.
