We love birds. As my 8 year old niece Haley says, we definitely have bird-itis. So part of our wedding will take place in the Tropical Bird House at the Woodland Park Zoo. And we chose these beautiful stamps for our invitations to support the Smithsonian scientists involved with the Kirtland’s Warbler Research and Training Project.
They are studying the bird’s little known habits on the wintering grounds of Eleuthera (in the Bahamas) in order to promote conservation efforts. They are also involved in the training of and outreach to Bahamian students. The project is helping to train and educate local biologists to protect the Bahamas’ birds and other biodiversity over the long term. Visit

Purchasing these stamps supports the efforts to save the Kirtland warbler and other birds that depend on conservation of habitat in the Carribean for survival.
