Seven Reasons to Buy a Migratory Bird/Duck Stamp

If you think the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamp, the "Duck Stamp," is just for waterfowl hunters, think again! Whether you hunt, bird, photograph wildlife and scenery, collect stamps or conserve habitat, you'll want to purchase this stamp.

Nebraska's rainwater basin region is beneath the Central Flyway, used by tens of millions of birds migrating to the prairie pothole regions of the Dakotas, Canada and beyond to nest and mate.

They're not sport birds, but they are important to the ecological balance of range land. We look at the lives and habitats of the birds, and how conservation initiatives like Conservation Reserve Program helps these species.

If koalas are cuter than the average bear, then I contend that Buffleheads are most adorable of ducks.  Perhaps we are naturally attracted to black and white creatures, or maybe everything is cuter when it comes in black and white.  The best example I can site is the Bufflehead.  Even the name is cute.
