Of course, there is the famous incident involving Roger Tory Peterson and the Dovekie decoy that was planted during a Christmas Bird Count in the Bronx in the 1930's. This link will take you to the book excerpt describing this amusing tale---there's even a bit of a Colorado connection!

Haha, that reminds me of when I found a decoy Mute Swan on one of my neighborhood patch bodies of water. It gave me great pause, but I was so suspicious of the good fortune, and after investigating, I was sorely disappointed, but slightly humored, that someone had put one out on the water. Thankfully it's been removed now, so I can bird in peace ;)The birds are happy, and so am I.~Caleb Alons
