Flamingo and Wading Birds — Vintage Bird Illustration Postcard

A pink flamingo stands at top beside a white stork, while herons, an egret, a spoonbill, and a sacred ibis fill the rest of this antique plate — each bird labeled with its common and Latin name, in the style of a 19th-century natural history atlas.

A fitting companion to the lyrebird plate in this series, for anyone building a birdwatcher's postcrossing set.
