Common Loon, Companion Species 2016/17 FDS

At the end of 2015 I was honored to be asked by the Fish and Wildlife Service to create a graphite drawing of a Common Loon for the back of the 2016-2017 Federal Duck Stamp (the self adhesive version) as a "companion species". The stamp was issued just this past weekend, with Joe Hautman's beautiful swans on the front! I'm truly thankful and honored to be still involved in some small way with the amazing duck stamp tradition and its connection to conservation.
If you purchase the self adhesive ("PSA") version of the 2016- 2017 Federal Duck Stamp, take a peek at the back!
