Received this wonderful Bonin white-eye (Apalopteron familiare) Japanese stamp from 1975 Nature Conservation series. Also called meguro, this small songbird lives on Bonin Islands.

To be honest, if one of the students in my Junior Duck Stamp classes ever turned in something like this, I would be elated.
(For a bit of background--a few years ago the Federal Duck Stamp contest rules were changed so that artists HAD to include some element of waterfowl hunting in their entries, whether they were comfortable with it or not. The above artwork may be my favorite example of malicious--or at least snarky--compliance.)
