Some exciting news...
"Backwater Wigeon" has
been selected as the
2010 Texas Duck Stamp.

birds in hand. A feature
was written about the
creation of the stamp
painting on Peter's blog

2010 Texas
Non-Game Stamp
|
|
|
Cedar
Waxwings 9"x12"
|
A handsome pair of cedar
waxwings will grace the
2010 Texas Non-Game
Stamp. Cedar waxwings
are nomadic birds that
flock together to feed
and can clean a berry
tree in one sitting.
Even while nesting they
are know to leave the
nest to join flocks to
feed. Their high pitched
"seeeeeee" call helps to
identify they are
nearby. As with the duck
stamp, proceeds from the
sale of the prints and
stamps will directly
benefit wildlife habitat
in Texas. Look for more
information in the weeks
and months to follow.
