Meena,
The duck stamp sales go DIRECTLY to the National Wildlife Refuge system.
$15 of your tax money would have only a tiny fraction supporting the refuge
system. Mostly, it is the duck hunters who fund the refuge system through
the purchase of duck stamps. Birders who enjoy the NWRs might also
attach to your binoculars' strap or
use as a key chain (order form online). Sales of the stamps raises
millions each year for wildlife habitat.

Saw a nice variety of warblers at Sapsucker Woods this evening, including a
beautiful Northern Parula, FOY for us. There were also plenty of Yellow,
Palm, and Yellow-rumped warblers, one Black-and-white, an American
