WWF MAXICARDS from BARBADOS [where RIHANNA was born]: "The YELLOW WARBLER (Dendroica petechia) is a New World warbler species or superspecies". Superspecies, like some of your acquaintances (or so they think).

| WWF MAXICARDS from BARBADOS: "The YELLOW WARBLER (Dendroica petechia) is a New World warbler species or superspecies"- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_warbler- |
"Other than in male breeding plumage, all subspecies are very similar.
Winter, female and immature birds all have similarly greenish-yellow uppersides and are a duller yellow below. Young males soon acquire breast [MY NOTE: no, we're NOT talking here about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gynecomastia or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender ] and, where appropriate, head coloration.
Females are somewhat duller, most notably on the head. [MY NOTE: the preposition used here was ON, not IN."

Barbados is outside of the principal Atlantic hurricane belt.Barbados was initially visited by the Spanish around the late 1400s to early 1500s and first appears on a Spanish map from 1511. The Spanish explorers may have plundered the island of whatever native peoples resided therein to become slaves. Thereafter, the Portuguese in 1536 then visited, but they too left it unclaimed, with their only remnants being an introduction of wildhogs for a good supply of meat whenever the island was visited. The first English ship, the Olive Blossom, arrived in Barbados in 1625. They took possession of it in the name of 'James, King of England'. It became an English and later British colony.[6]
Barbados has an estimated population of 284,589 people,[7] with around 80,000 living in or around Bridgetown, the largest city and the country's capital.[8] In 1966, Barbados became an independent state and Commonwealth realm, retaining Queen Elizabeth II as Head of State.[9]Barbados is one of the Caribbean's leading tourist destinations and is one of the most developed islands in the region, with an HDI number of 0.788. In 2010 Barbados also ranked in the top 3 in The Americas on Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index beating out Chile in 3rd, and coming after Canada in the top spot."

I see, in the top image, a broken contour formed by the years of the elephant that is far-right EXTREMIST.
Also, in the bottom image, a white heart formed by the ear of the elephant in the postmark.

"The African [bush] elephant is the largest living terrestrial animal. Its thickset body rests on stocky legs and it has a concave back.[5] Its large ears enable heat loss.[6] Its upper lip and nose forms a trunk. The trunk acts as a fifth limb, a sound amplifier and an important method of touch. The African elephant's trunk ends in two opposing lips,[7] whereas the Asian elephant trunk ends in a single lip.[7] African elephants are bigger than Asian elephants. Males stand 3.2–4.0 m (10–13 ft) tall at the shoulder and weigh 4,700–6,048 kg (10,000–13,330 lb), while females stand 2.2–2.6 m (7.2–8.5 ft) tall and weigh 2,160–3,232 kg (4,800–7,130 lb).[8]
The largest individual recorded stood four metres to the shoulders and weighed ten tonnes."
