Duck Stamp Art Selected

Robert Bealle, an artist from Waldorf, Maryland, submitted the winning entry in the annual contest to select art for the Federal Duck Stamp. The stamp, which sells for $15, raises about $25 million a year to fund the acquisition of wetlands to add to the National Wildlife Refuge System.

Bealle’s winning entry, which depicts an American wigeon, will be on the 2010-11 duck stamp that will go on sale in late June. The stamp is a required purchase for waterfowl hunters 16 and older, but is also purchased by conservationists, stamp collectors and others to support habitat conservation.
