ON THE COVER: Burlington Bay at the west end of Lake Ontario was once a haven for migrating waterfowl – bluebills, redheads and canvasbacks congregated by the thousands - and the locals took full advantage of the opportunity. They employed a method of hunting called “screening,” where a rig of 50 to 100 decoys was set up offshore. Once the divers came into the decoys, the hunters would sneak out in a skiff hidden behind a small frame interlaced with grass or reeds, called a “screen.” Ivar Fernlund, whose decoys grace the cover, is one of the more celebrated carvers from the area.
