Black ducks are a regular visitor to Thief Lake, particularly in late season. Both of these examples are hollow white cedar with basswood heads painted in acrylics. The birds are self-righting.

The preener was carved for The Gathering 2019, a fish and duck decoy competition in Perham, Minnesota.

The high headed black duck is a memorial decoy carved for our lab Bailey. It contains some of her ashes so she can continue to hunt with us.
