Duck stamps go on sale Friday of this week, June 2. Money from sale of these stamps -- officially the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp -- is used to buy and maintain land for national wildlife refuges and to buy or lease waterfowl production areas.
Many, many species of nongame birds receive enormous help from these efforts. Buy a stamp (should be available at your local post office). Cost is only $15. (And of that, believe it or not, the government uses $14.70 for on-the-ground effort.) This is one of the best bird conservation investments you can make. Jim Williams Wayzata, Minnesota
