USPS Bald Eagle Stamps on Sale Today

[PAUL ROBERTS]

Just a heads up for those that have a special affection for Bald Eagles that the U.S. Post; Service has just released a new stamp" Bald Eagle: Hatchling to Adult."

 

The commemorative sheets  of 20 stamps come in sets of 5, with images of young chicks in nest, older nestlings, a-one-year-old, a 2-year-old, and an adult. The images are quite well done, though I would not recommend them for use in the field, attempting to accurately age Bald Eagles. ($15.60 for 20 "Forever First Class Postage stamps.) 

 

Regarding the Mystic Lakes eagles, Stripe and KZ are still hanging together, but to what end is in question. Essentially, they are likely "retired" for the next 6-8 months. Because of increased fuel costs, they will probably vacation locally, visiting nearby waterways to see if the fish are as good there as they are near their nest, which is functionally unused this spring and summer.

 

Best,

Paul
