I heard someone say the other day that the next federal duck stamp should have 
an IVORY-BILLED WOODPECKER on it ;-)    This would celebrate what duck hunters 
have done in their efforts to save habitat for the great woodpecker.  The 
competition for artists would be limited to the best painting of the 
woodpecker.  What a fantastic suggestion !  
That way, we could double the effort and millions of people could buy the 
"Woodpecker Stamp" to help preserve habitat for waterfowl.  Duck hunters could 
continue to buy the woodpecker stamp to help preserve habitat for the 
woodpecker.  Maybe the term "duck stamp" has gone out of style !   Congress 
should have a hearing.  Should it be renamed "Bird Stamp" ?

It has also been suggested that anyone going into the habitat for any reason, 
whether logging, hunting, picnics, fishing, scientific research, boating, 
photography, sightseeing, guide services buying habitat, eco tourism or birding 
should be required to purchase a special federal IVORY-BILLED WOODPECKER 
PERMIT.  

The money should go into a public fund to educate school children about duck 
hunting and looking for the woodpecker. 

Let's go birding......
