Blue-Winged Teal by Ron Kleiber

Fred's Anecdotal Note

1993 NEW YORK

Three downy ducklings search for food along a creek in upstate New york. Their mother preens her feathers while her mate casually patrols the non-threatening waterway. In an adjoining fie1d, a turn-of-the-century farmer cuts and bales his crop with a piece of horse-drawn machinery. The artistic style of this hand-painted MILFORD Cachet captures the same tone and format found in the new duck stamp.

The cancel is from Albany, the state capital, and the postage requirement is met by the turk,s cap lily wildfLower stamp. There were 240 covers produced for this issue.
