Milwaukee Philatelic Society, Inc.

and the Milwaukee County Zoo present

Migratory Bird Day & Earth Day

May 16-17, 2009

Milwaukee County Zoo, Peck Building

10001 West Blue Mound Road

Milwaukee, WI

The Milwaukee Philatelic Society and the Milwaukee County Zoo have worked together since 2005, putting together a show supporting Migratory Birds.  This year, we are also working together on Earth Day.

The show will be May 16 and 17, 2009 at the Zoo.  There are many children and adults who really enjoy seeing the different birds and animals involved. 

This year it was decided that they wanted a bird that worked with man and the Homing Pigeon was used in wars long before World War II to carry messages from the front. 

The polar bear is endangered because the ice is melting due to global warming and they have trouble hunting seals.

We have the Homing Pigeon and Polar Bear stamped and cacheted envelopes with special cancellations for sale at $2.00 each, or you can get the set of two for $3.50.
