USA- Tanagers & Snowy owl

here's that unique date again, this time from Mountain Lakes in NJ, USA  a pair of 2002 s/a  Western Tanagers (Piranga ludoviciana) and Scarlet Tanagers ( Piranga olivacea)  together with a Snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) to send this beautiful postcard of Audubon's Snowy Owl painted in 1831. Thank you dear friend Natalie.

Mountain Lakes-Ring-necked Pheasant

My dear friend Natalie never forgets to add a bird stamp... A 1996 Common Pheasant, otherwise known as the ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colcicus) was tucked besides a couple of my favorite musicians on the back of a postcard showing a more genteel way of playing table tennis. :)
