Harlequin Ducks by Darrell Davis

Fred's Anecdotal Note

1993 MONTANA

The attractive and distinctive harlequin duck makes its first appearance in a MILFORD hand-painted cachet. The dark blue plumage with chestnut flank and stripe above the eye is very striking to behold made even by white and black markings. In this case, a male stands by a fast flowing chute of mountain water.

A Helena canceI ties the new stamp and the stream violet wildflower to the cover. Serial numbers used 29-011326 to 29-011525.
