With a distinctive round, red-brown head -- for which this waterbird is named -- and an eye-catching black chest, gray wing stripe, and blue bill with black tip, the Redhead Duck is certainly among the most beautiful of America's diving ducks. And the antique duck decoys used to imitate these striking wild ducks are among the most distinctive of all the American decoys carved around the turn of the century. The master decoy carvers took great care to ensure that their Redhead decoys reflected the distinctive shape and plumage of the beautiful living birds. Indeed, when the early waterfowlers set their decoys out in a lake, entire flocks of passing Redheads approached convinced that all was safe and well. Later, as laws limiting waterfowl hunting were passed, many of these decoys were abandoned. It has only been in recent years, that these decoys have been greatly sought after as a form of American Folk Art.
