Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp

The Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, commonly known as the Federal Duck Stamp, is a collectible and functional postage designed to raise funds for preserving migratory bird habitats. When bird hunters purchase the stamp to hunt waterfowl, part of the money goes directly to conservation efforts like maintaining wetlands and protecting bird populations. The stamp features artwork of waterfowl and is also valued by collectors. It is a key tool in funding the conservation of important habitats for migratory birds while also serving as a required license for waterfowl hunting in the United States.
