Renowned folk art patron and decoy enthusiast Adele Earnest considered Birdsall geese to be the "epitome of folk art: the happy union of use and beauty; life and art" (J. Barnitz et al., The David and Peggy Rockefeller Collection: Art of the Western Hemisphere, New York, 1988, vol. II, p. 296). With its hollow construction and wide, flat bottom, this goose is a wonderful example of Birdsall's beautiful, high-quality and effective decoys.
