This lens is about decoys of all types! Working decoys, decorative decoys, bird carvings and other wildlife art. If you have a site about duck decoys, goose decoys or other decoys please contact us.

Working Decoys 

Hand carved working decoys are still used to attract ducks in many parts of the country. In places like Chincoteague Island Virginia, guides are selective about equipment and often maintain a variety of hand carved decoys patterned to mimic the species of waterfowl. Popular hand carved working decoys may include mallards, black ducks, bluebill ducks, canvasback, goldeneye, bufflehead, teal and others.

The Art of Wildfowl Carving 

From working decoys evolved the traditional art of wildfowl carving. Modern carvers create artwork so lifelike, that one has to look closely to make sure the items are not live birds.

In contrast to working decoy carvers who limited their craft to ducks, geese and similar fowl, artistic carvers create designs representing all types of waterfowl, shorebirds, songbirds, upland game and other bird, fish and animal life.
