Item Description
Detailed DescriptionWith the release of the Coastal Birds postcard stamps, the U.S. Postal Service® celebrates four eye-catching birds: the red knot (Calidris canutus), king eider (Somateria spectabilis), roseate spoonbill (Platalea ajaja), and magnificent frigatebird (Fregata magnificens).
The stamps feature highly stylized, digital portraits of each bird.
Feeding on everything from crustaceans and mollusks to insects and fish, coastal birds can be spotted along beaches, rocky coastlines, and mudflats, as well as in lagoons, wetlands, and other saltwater and freshwater habitats. They account for some of the worldâs largest breeding and migratory populations.
The Coastal Birds stamps feature the art of illustrator Tyler Lang. Greg Breeding was the art director.
The word âPOSTCARDâ on the stamps indicates their usage value. Like a Forever® stamp, it will always be equal in value to the applicable price for the price category printed on them at the time of use. The initial price and value for this stamp is 35 cents.

Important tips to save shipping fee -
> If you are purchasing multiple stamps through "Buy it now" option, please make sure all the items are in the basket before any payment. Please review the invoice carefully to ensure all the items are listed there so that Hip System can apply the combined shipping discount properly.
>
> otherwise, Hip / paypal will charge the full shipping fee for each item and they withhold the transaction fee & commission based on full shipping payment. There is no easy way to refund the difference unless we cancel all the transactions one by one.
>
> if you have any question, please check with me before any payment.
