    This picturesque little house was not a bomb house, but had several functions: the decoy man kept his equipment there and used it as a temporary storage place for captured ducks. He could warm himself by a hearth fire and during busy fishing periods he would spend the night in an alcove.
    The giant poplar at this cooking house served as a beacon in the landscape: this way, approaching ducks could recognize this place from far away. Experts estimate the age of this tree at around 160 years.
