[Margot Pantalone <mpantalo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Along similar lines to Michael Roedel's message about Duck Stamps, it 
appears that an Ivory Bill conservation stamp is in the works, along 
with a limited edition print of Larry Chandler's beautiful painting 
of the magnificent bird. You can see the image at 
http://www.larrychandlerart.com/index.htm.

Larry says that the Arkansas Fish & Game Commission and Cornell 
University are working very quickly to get his image out in print and 
stamps and that Grisham's Waterfowl Art of Jonesboro, AR, will be 
handling most of the shipping of the prints.

This appears to be the same image of an Ivory Bill, albeit reversed 
and stripped of background, that's on a T-shirt that the Cornell 
Ornithology Lab is offering as an incentive to donate to their 
organization to aid bird conservation efforts.

The T-shirt, prints, and stamps are all lovely and thoughtful ways to 
view and celebrate the bird -- immeasurably wiser than descending 
upon Big Woods and threatening the very thing we are so overjoyed to 
have found alive.
