About the Design

These stamps celebrate the charm and vibrancy of North American songbirds. For example, the golden-crowned kinglet and red-breasted nuthatch appear strikingly detailed, while the northern cardinal and cedar waxwing add warmth and color. Moreover, the snowy backgrounds make each bird stand out beautifully. In addition, the self-adhesive design allows you to use them conveniently on envelopes or packages.

Bird Banding and Conservation

Bird banding helps scientists track species, their lifespans, and migration patterns. This program also enables conservation efforts to protect these beautiful creatures. From 1960–2016, North American researchers have banded hundreds of thousands of cardinals, kinglets, waxwings, and nuthatches. Thanks to these efforts, future generations can enjoy these iconic songbirds.
