Duck Stamp Holder

The Georgia Ornithological Society is selling the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (aka Duck Stamp) and holder for $15.

If you recall, I got schooled by Paul Baicich that these tags fit easily on binoculars and make very little noise and don't get in the way of your bird viewing pleasure. For those who still aren't convinced, they do also make great zipper tags.

This is one of the cheapest, most effective purchases you can make to buy up habitat for all kinds of birds. And with the decline in duck hunters, birders really need to step up to the plate on this one. Over 98% of the money for the stamp actually goes to purchase habitat and less than 2% goes to administrative costs, this is very worthwhile.

Birdchick, What a great idea! I will look for duck stamps here in NM. My family and I just got back from a birding expedition to Patagonia, AZ. Had tons of fun!

Thanks for the plug. Kudos to you and your blog with making me aware of the concept.

I'm taking 20 to my local Audubon group tonight. Wish me luck.

Steve,

Thanks.

But the thanks goes to you for taking the initiative on this project and getting the tags and stamps out there.

You rock.

Thanks Birdchick,

In the interest of thread closure, I sold 12 last night at the Audubon Meeting. That's $176.40 for land acquisition or lease at our National Wildlife Refuges.

We all rock!

P.S. Remember you can always buy your stamp at the post office or local sporting goods store.
