USPS Releases New Bald Eagle Stamps to Celebrate National Bird and Upcoming Anniversary
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is set to release a new series of stamps featuring the bald eagle, the national bird of the United States, in anticipation of the country's 250th anniversary. The stamps, titled 'Bald Eagle: Hatchling to Adult,' are designed by USPS art director Derry Noyes and feature paintings by David Allen Sibley, a renowned ornithologist and illustrator. These stamps depict the bald eagle at various stages of life, including images of baby eaglets. The USPS describes these stamps as 'forever stamps,' meaning they will hold the same value as the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price. The stamps will be available for order starting May 14, and they will be sold in sheets of 20 for $15.60. A first-day-of-issue ceremony is scheduled to take place at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Minnesota, on May 14, which is open to the public.
