BANGOR DAILY NEWS • April 27, 2024

Michael Loring of Windham had the winning entry last weekend in Maine’s 2024 Migratory Waterfowl Stamp Art Contest. Loring’s artwork featured a harlequin duck painted in an airbrush style. Second place went to Tory Farris of Dover-Foxcroft. Third went to Olga Wing of Byron. Honorable mentions went to Richard Alley Jr. of Islesford and Rebekah Lowell of Biddeford. Duck stamps are collector’s items and raise funds to manage and conserve waterfowl in Maine to the tune of $13,000-$16,000 annually.
