Joe Hayman, Canvas Over Wire Swan

Joe Hayman (1886-1975), Churches Island, North Carolina. This small swan has a wonderful form and surface. It could have possibly been hunted as a snow goose. There were eight of these found in a large stand of canvas geese. This exact decoy is published on page 155 of Gunnin' Birds by Kroghie Andresen.

Length 23 in.
