The Mrs. & I, along with Winston, have a 15' Thompson Bros. Guide Boat that we like to putt around with on Northern Wisconsin lakes viewing lakeside cottages and wildlife. Virtually every lake will have at least a pair or two of Common Loons on it. The Loons provided the inspiration for this carving.

Not wooden - These are cork bodied, Basswood head Greenwing drakes I recently completed for my rig. Bluewings leave our area during the first week of the season, but the greenies stick around, I don't shoot the greenies, but I sure like to see them zooming in like little fighter planes

This is the highlight of my very small collection. It's an Ira Hudson Bluebill. It was a gift from an uncle when I graduated from college. When he was a young fellow he bought a string of working decoys from Ira Hudson himself. In his older years he enjoyed taking them one at a time to auction at the Wildfowl Festival in Easton, Md, and then telling me all about it.
