My favorite of this little group is the American Avocet. I bought it last year when my husband and I went to the Ocean County Decoy and Gunning Show at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tuckertonseaport.org\/\">Tuckerton Seaport<\/a>. The seaport is a great place to visit if you&#8217;re interested in the maritime history of the Jersey Shore, specifically the Barnegat Bay region. The show features local artists and carvers and has some fun contests like duck and goose calling, decoy rigs, whittling, and model sneakboxes. There&#8217;s also usually retriever contests and lots of Lab puppies running around. I&#8217;m already looking forward to this year&#8217;s show on September 24th and 25th. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Today&#8217;s great accomplishment was cleaning off my desk so that I could take a pic and show off my decoys.

I&#8217;m amazed at the way things pile up around here in just one month&#8217;s time, despite my being good about throwing stuff away. So now I&#8217;ve got a clean dust-free desk and lots of surface space to pile more stuff on. All the important papers have been filed away never to be seen again. Someday I&#8217;ll learn to be organized.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been casually collecting decoys for the last year or two; I especially like shorebird decoys.
