This First Day Cover features a vibrant cachet with hand-illustrated hummingbirds in red, green, and blue, depicted with crosshatch shading. The birds are shown in flight, with one larger hummingbird near the center and a smaller one at the bottom left. The cachet also includes an outline silhouette of a hummingbird near the postmark. The stamp, issued at 29 cents, depicts a Calliope Hummingbird perched near red columbine flowers. The postmark is a machine cancellation with wavy lines, dated June 15, 1992, from Washington, DC.
