Sneak preview: red-shouldered hawk local post stamp

The details are still being finalized, but I thought you might like to see Philosateleian Post’s newest stamp, which pictures a red-shouldered hawk.

Planned date of issue for this stamp is July 1. I’ll post more here soon.

Wow - I really like the design! It looks like a real stamp! But, where in the stamp does to say that the bird is a red-shouldered hawk?

I’m glad you like the design! I opted to omit wording describing the subject because I’ve discovered that I get better results from inkjet and laser printers when I don't try to include especially small fonts in my stamp designs. In this case, with the white background behind the hawk, I probably could have gotten away with using a small text size and still had it be legible, but…I decided to keep it simple.
