Forever Stamp Sheets Featuring Birds (1 Sheet, Birds in Winter) Scott 5390
Brand: USPS
Issued in September 2018, the Birds in Winter Forever stamps highlight the handsome plumage of resident birds often spotted throughout the winter, The stamp art features four of winter‘s winged beauties:

The black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus),
The northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis),
The blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), and
The red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus).

The stamp art features four striking designs. The vivid contrast with the bright flashes of color found in the digital rendering of each bird evokes the drab feeling of winter with the stark white backgrounds. A limited palette and simplified shapes give the art a bold, fresh look.

In the dead of winter, when trees have shed their leaves and snow has blanketed the ground, the lively sights and sounds of resident birds can be a welcome relief. For serious birders or casual nature lovers alike, spotting these beautiful creatures in backyards, parks, and forests is a treat during the year’s coldest months.

Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamps with original artwork by Nadia Taylor.
