Birds on Postcards: Hummingbird


I found this modern chrome postcard in a used book store, of all places. It was one of several hundred postcards stuffed in a circular display rack. It features a male Broad-tailed Hummingbird, photographed by Ted and Lois Matthews, sipping from a nectar feeder. It was published by Mike Roberts of Oakland, California, and distributed by Mountain States Specialities, Inc., 7161 Valtec Ct., Boulder, CO 80301. The number B14757 (a unique identifier supplied by the publisher) appears at the top of the spine on the back of the card, and the number 13865 (I have no clue as to what this represents) appears at the top of the stamp block.
