What type of wildlife does the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp primarily cover?

The Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp primarily covers migratory fowl, which includes various species of ducks and geese that travel between breeding and wintering grounds. This stamp is part of a federal program designed to generate funding for the conservation of wetland habitats, which are critical for these birds during their migratory patterns. The purchase of the stamp not only serves as a permit for hunters to legally pursue these migratory birds but also contributes to the preservation and management of ecosystems that benefit both the birds and other wildlife.

Land birds, fish, and insects do not fall under the purview of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp, as this program specifically targets migratory waterfowl that require protected habitats to thrive during their seasonal movements.
