Nice pages, reena. I especially like the stamp on license. It shows exactly how it was used.

I took the information from the catalog. Wanted to make sure the majority of information was correct. They only thing I don't have is the Scott's numbers. May or may not make that change. So here are pages 3 and 4:

Very nice Reena, I was curious and checked William Steiner CD, it is surprising he does not draught Album pages for the US Duck Stamps, yet he has pages for stamps as bizarre as Rattlesnake Island.

Thanks Rod, it was not easy to make up my mind about the album and I couldn't find pages that I really liked. So I did my own. Rattlesnake Island intrigues me....might have to look into that one. And here's pages 9 and 10:

Being distantly English, I had to smile at the euphemism "Ruddy Ducks" I suppose just a tad better than being a "Common Duck"

Now for a question that has been rambling around in my mind. PSA or just the stamp? As you can see since 2007 I've been collecting the PSA, I think they have more information, but am wondering if maybe I should add the stamp to them even though the PSA is the stamp.
Any thoughts?

According to Fish and Wildlife Service data, slightly over 330,000 water activated gum stamps are being issued each year while the number of pressure sensitive adhesives printed numbers over 2 million.
Were I collecting modern issues, I'd opt for the WAG variety.

I know some of you already know this, but June 27 will be the release of the new Canvasback Duck stamp. I'm already forming my want list for stamps on the USPS site which will include at least two of these stamps. Very nice looking stamp this years.

At one time I had an irreplacable set of the 1957 and 1958 Ducks, signed by my grandfather, my father, my brother and my self, but one day the new live in decided to clean up that messy ole den of mine and threw out a large box of stamps, and those ducks were in that box. It wasn't too long after that little incedent that I asked her to leave. I still have my deceased brothers ducks.

LOL Funny that you should mention that. Shortly after her departure, I picked up an International Travelall, you probably remembember those. Big boxey stationwagon kind of car/truck, what the lumber companies call a crummy. Seating for 9, 4 wheel drive. My sister gave me a stick on sign to hang in the window of this trunkless vehicle that said "Ex wife in trunk."

That looks like an interesting book, where did you find it? Just for the record, the Duck Stamp Catalogue never arrived, no feedback from Vendor (I won it at $1 IIRC) Left negative feedback. I just noticed it was a "Mellones" catalogue, recently quoted by Steve.

Surprised no one has ever mentioned this terrific book on the subject by Scott Weidensau. History of the program, the artwork and some of the artists.

From the APS Blog: Duck Stamp Featuring James Hautman’s Painting of Canada Geese Issued June 23by American Philatelic SocietyThe 84th annual 2017–18 Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, known popularly as the Duck Stamp, was issued nationwide June 23 and formally celebrated at a first-day-of-sale ceremony at Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World in Little Rock, Arkansas. The $25 stamp features three Canada geese in flight above an autumnal wetland. The original artwork for the stamp was created by James Hautman, of Chaska, Minnesota in an annual open artwork contest. Hautman has won the contest five times. In 1989, James was the youngest artist to win the contest at age 25. His subsequent wins were in 1994, 1998, and 2010. The stamp — which has both self-stick and moisture-activated versions — is a mandatory license stamp for waterfowl hunters, but also serves as a fundraiser for wildlife habitat conservation. Last fall, a panel of five judges chose Hautman’s art from among 152 entries. His fifth win puts him in elite company as only two other artists — one of them his brother, Joseph — have won five first-place awards. The 2017–2018 Junior Duck Stamp, which also went on sale June 23, features a pair of trumpeter swans painted by Isaac Schreiber, 12, of Duffield, Virginia. Judges selected his entry as the winner during the Junior Duck Stamp Art Contest in April from among the best-of-show winners from all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. Since 1934, sales of the Duck Stamp have raised more than $950 million to conserve nearly 6 million acres of wetlands habitat, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which administers the stamp. The service states that 98 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the stamp are spent on habitat conservation. The contest to select the 2018-2019 stamp will be held September 15 and 16 at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. The new Duck Stamps are available for purchase online from the U.S. Postal Service, at many sporting goods and retail stores, some post offices, and at national wildlife refuges.

I acquired this stamp in October but am just now getting around to placing it in my album. It is an unused, hinged $1 rose lake stamp featuring Canvasbacks taking flight (Scott RW2; 1935).
