From today's Toledo Blade, here's a story by outdoor writer Matt Markey about the Federal Duck Stamp contest currently taking place at the Lodge at Maumee Bay State Park in n.w. Ohio. This article highlights the way that the Duck Stamp program brings together some diverse constituencies -- including the birding community -- in support of effective habitat conservation. http://www.toledoblade.com/MattMarkey/2013/09/27/Duck-stamp-program-flying-high.html Kenn Kaufman Oak Harbor, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
