On the front of the card there is a House Sparrow (Passer Domesticus), a small, seed-eating songbird that thrives around people. Originally from the Middle East, travel on ships has helped its spread to every continent except Antarctiva. Now it is the most widespread bird in the world.
In 2014 USPS issued a series of 10 self-adhesive stamps to celebrate their melodic voice. On the card you can see the American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) and the White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis).
