Wild Fowl Decoys is an art reference book by American collector Joel Barber.
[3] This heavily illustrated book aimed to be a comprehensive guide to the carved wooden duck decoy.
Used by early American waterfowl hunters, this type of decoy was promoted by the author as a form of folk art.
The book is considered by art historians to be the first on the subject, and was a bible to decoy collectors throughout the 20th century.
The watercolor illustrations painted by Barber for the book are in the collection of the Shelburne Museum.
