Tule White Front Geese by Ed Tussey

Fred's Anecdotal Note

1993 ALASKA

Glacier Bay National Park along the coast of Alaska north of Sitka provides the setting for this MILFORD. A towering glacier goes through the process known as "calving" as huge slabs of ice break off and crash into the sea. In addition to the sheer glacier cliff, the newly-formed icebergs float in the cold, coastal water. In front of this grand sight, two white-fronted geese fly across my hand-painted Glacier Bay cachet.

The new duck stamp and fireweed wildflower are postmarked with a Iarge, Juneau bullseye. Two hundred covers were produced for this issue.
