Book Pick: The Wild Duck Chase

I’m finishing the The Wild Duck Chase: Inside the Strange and Wonderful World of the Federal Duck Stamp Contest. I love the detailed descriptions of the various players in this world that most people don’t even know exists. The story is lively and humorous as well as completely engaging.

If you like Bill Bryson and Richard Louv’swriting you’ll enjoy Martin J. Smith’s look into the world of Duck Stamp art competitions and the history of protecting wetlands.
