Along similar lines to Michael Roedel's message about Duck Stamps, it appears that an Ivory Bill conservation stamp is in the works, along with a limited edition print of Larry Chandler's beautiful painting of the magnificent bird. You can see the image at http://www.larrychandlerart.com/index.htm. Larry says that the Arkansas Fish & Game Commission and Cornell University are working very quickly to get his image out in print and stamps and that Grisham's Waterfowl Art of Jonesboro, AR, will be handling most of the shipping of the prints. http://www.grishamsart.com/. This appears to be the same image of an Ivory Bill, albeit reversed and stripped of background, that's on a T-shirt that the Cornell Ornithology Lab is offering as an incentive to donate to their organization to aid bird conservation efforts. The T-shirt, prints, and stamps are all lovely and thoughtful ways to view and celebrate the bird -- immeasurably wiser than descending upon Big Woods and threatening the very thing we are so overjoyed to have found alive.
