Default Sportsman Guide to Wild Duck

In the counterfeit duck thread I mentioned a booklet I picked up in our antique travels this weekend

its entitled "Sportsman's Guide to Wild Duck" by the Wildlife Management Institute of Washington DC - this copy is marked as "distributed through the courtesy of the Pennsylvania Game Commission", dated 1946 - is a foreword by Col. H. P. Sheldon and articles about the most recent studies on flyways and migration

the booklet is illustrated by Fred Everett- a fellow Southern Tier NY'er ( I always like his work in classic upland bird books) -

here are some samples of his work in the book
