10,000 Birds

AUGUST 14, 2018

In June, the 2018-2019 Federal Duck Stamp was released. Birders have been encouraged by the American Birding Association and others to buy Federal Duck Stamps. Not long ago, I posted a list of the 25 best National Wildlife Refuges for birding. Duck Stamps and import duty contributions were similar, at about $34-38 million each.

For me, there was the Limpkin in Loxahatchee NWR in Florida, the Atlantic Puffin at Petit Manan NWR in Maine, the Falcated Duck at Colusa NWR in California. I don’t think I have added any new species, but I did add Alaska, Kansas, and Oklahoma to the group state list. Naturally, a walk through one’s life lists triggers memories.
