The rich history of the decoys for hunting reaches back to the earliest days in the Chesapeake Bay region. In part one of our series, Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush looks at the history of the decoy as it was transformed from a useful tool into an art form -- most famously by the Ward brothers.

Don Rush is the News Director and Senior Producer of News and Public Affairs at Delmarva Public Media. An award-winning journalist, Don reports major local issues of the day, from sea level rise, to urban development, to the changing demographics of Delmarva.
