The three shorebird decoys are gunning decoys made before the ban against hunting them. The larger two are from NJ and are whimbrels known back in the day as curlews. The smaller decoy is a golden plover from MA. The two decoys on my dresser are a black bellied plover and my favorite, a whimsical dowitcher which was part of the T. Rogers rig and branded on the bottom as such. Rogers was a wealthy NYC banker who shot shorebirds in Jamaica bay in the late 1800s. The top and bottom prints are by Chet Reneson. The snowy blowy depicts decoying broadbills during a snow storm. The fishing print depicts flyrodding for bonefish in the Bahamas. The middle painting is an original by Ray Ellis.
