Another cover from the Cuban Festival of Birds. The pictorial postmark of the tiny Cuban Gnatcatcher (Polioptila lembeyei) cancelling the very large 2011 Brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis). On the stamp with the ordinary CDS is the 10c, 2008 Cuban Solitaire (Myadestes elisabeth)
Thanks to my good friend CJ for sending these two Cuban covers
Here you will see birds on stamps with clear postmarks to show where the birds have flown from. These places have been plotted on the Google map of Traveling Birds. http://goo.gl/JcbeKc . Click on any bird name beside the map to see the stamps. I hope you enjoy traveling with the birds.
