national park established for its biodiversity. Today much of the Everglades is protected within Everglades National Park, the first U.S. In the background, the marsh meanders toward the horizon, dotted with tree islands, as roseate spoonbills and other waterbirds fly overhead. Nearby, a half-submerged American alligator - a keystone species in the Everglades - glides through the shallow, slow-moving water into the shade of the dome. In the foreground, a stand of mature bald cypress trees shelters a great egret in flight and a great blue heron patiently awaiting its prey. The art for this Priority Mail stamp shows an iconic sawgrass marsh as seen at sunset from the edge of a cypress dome. The water that flows through this vast region laces together a mosaic of distinct habitats that provide vital refuge for numerous threatened and endangered species. Spanning some 2 million acres in southern Florida, from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay, the Everglades is one of the largest wetlands in the world and the most significant breeding ground for tropical wading birds in North America.
