Ruddy Duck wins Duck Stamp Contest
The 2016 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp – better known as the “Duck Stamp” – saw
its debut last month and features the Ruddy Duck,
a beloved visitor and winter resident of the SFBJV region. The artist, Jennifer Miller, is only the third woman to have her art grace the stamp since the contest was established in the mid-1930s. The cost
of the stamp is now $25, a ten dollar increase which will go toward wetland and grassland easements in the Refuge System. Support of the stamp is one of the best ways an individual – hunter or bird watching enthusiast – can help raise money nationally for bird habitat protection. Almost every penny from the
sale of the stamp, an estimated $40 million annually, goes to the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund.
You can find out more about the stamp & the contest at the friends of the Migratory Bird Duck Stamp website.
