    Starting to lay

    South Shore Waterfowlers are putting up Wood Duck boxes in South Haven County Park tomorrow. Temps forecast in low 20-s with wind at 30 mph. Should be a fun day. There definitely are Woodies here based on grandson Alex getting a pair on youth day last year. Joe

    Miscellaneous Decoy Repairs

    Todd Smith is related to Reg Smith. I think Reg was Todd's grandfather. Todd brought a Reg Smith canvasback to LIDCA that was repainted as a blackduck. He said that once canvasbacks got rare on Long Island the solution was to repaint to blackducks. Joe

    I cut black plastic one gallon plant buckets into strips for Old Squaw tails. Durable plus quick to add to decoys. I pick them up from the bay by the tail.

    Decoy ID for the gurus

    The drake back had a comb raked through thick white paint on the back. Once it hardens, black is over-painted and sanded off leaving the striations.

    Steve is correct. Al McCormick used a paste made from cork sawdust and spar varnish to smooth the bodies on his cork decoys. Joe
