Reason the stamp was issued: Birds are a favorite topical stamp subject, and people are fascinated by hummingbirds.
About the stamp design: The artwork for the Ruby-throated hummingbird stamp was done by Chuck Ripper. He is the talent behind many stamps featuring birds and nature in past, including a Broad-tailed hummingbird on the American Wildlife pane of 50.
The artist picked five species of hummingbirds that “covered the most ground geographically and also offered color variety.” Each stamp shows a hummingbird in flight with a red flower, which is found in its range.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue ceremony was held during the National Audubon Society’s convention held at American University in Washington, DC.
More fun facts: Broad-Billed Hummingbird: As its name suggests, this bird has a wide beak, which is unique among North American hummingbirds. Its feathers are metallic bronze-green above, with a metallic blue throat. The broad-billed hummingbird winters in Mexico and summers in southern Arizona and New Mexico.
