Caption:
Jay Norwood "Ding" Darling, best known as the "father
of the Duck Stamp." was a Pulitzer-Prize-winning editorial
cartoonist for The Des Moines Register, a civic critic,
and a bird conservationist. Among his interests, he
counted Black Bass fishing, rock gardening, ornithology,
and duck hunting. For 20 months in the mid-1930s he
headed the Bureau of Biological Survey, transforming
and modernizing that organization. The bureau later
(1940) became the core institution to create the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service.
