With both novice and experienced decoy collectors in mind, the
authors have created a thorough study of shorebirds and the decoys
used to hunt them. The life cycles of the frequently hunted birds
are described; matchless color illustrations by Robert Verity Clem
depict each species in its usual habitat. There is a discussion of
the rise and fall of shorebird hunting, the places the birds were
hunted, and the kinds of decoys used. Lastly the book treats the
present-day legacy of shorebird hunting: the amazing variety of
decoys, fashioned by an unknown number of carver-artists.
Because shorebird hunting ended in the early 1900s, many
shorebird decoys are quite rare and collectible. Beautiful color
photographs of more than two hundred decoys highlight this
carefully documented book.
