     Mr. Turnbaugh’s oil painting “October Day” won out over 36 other entries in the “Duck Stamp” competition was held Saturday, March 27, 2004 at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Refuge in Laurel. . Entries are judged for artistic merit, scientific accuracy, and for consideration of stamp design. Dave’s rendering of a pair of pintails on quiet waters was compressed and reproduced in stamp form for use as the 2004-2005 game bird hunting license.

     Approximately 50,000 stamps are sold annually, raising nearly $0.5 million for Maryland’s game bird research and habitat enhancement programs. Since its inception in 1974, over $4 million in stamp revenue has been used to create and improve waterfowl migration and wintering habitats. Duck stamps are widely collected and are available through the Department of Natural Resources (www.DNR.state.md.us) or by contacting Maryland Realist.
