Welcome to my collection. My topic is birds and I collect mostly covers but I will show you a variety of philatelic material that is part my collection.

Issued in 2000, the first stamp shows an American kestrel (Falco sparverius). It can be found in North, Central and South America. The northern populations are migratory. It has 17 subspecies. The male, shown on the stamp, has blue-grey wings and a rufous tail with a single black band on its end. The female has rufous wings and tail with many parallel black bands across its length. It feeds on insects, small rodents, small birds and reptiles. It is used in falconry.

The final stamp, issued in 2012, depicts a peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus). This species has been shown on a number of stamps already.
