The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other agencies unveil the 2025-26 Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp at Mack’s Prairie Wings in Stuttgart, Arkansas. This year’s stamp, featuring artwork by Adam Grimm that depicts spectacled eiders, is now available for purchase, with proceeds contributing over $1.2 billion to wetland and waterfowl habitat conservation since 1934.
At the unveiling event, Grimm revealed that his inspiration for painting the seldom-seen spectacled eider came during a visit with a friend who kept the birds in captivity. The Federal Duck Stamp is essential for migratory bird hunting and is also embraced by collectors who support wildlife conservation efforts, highlighting the role of hunters in protecting vital ecosystems across the United States.
