Determined to find something tonight I believe this is a vignette shift. The sparrow is slightly lower creating a gap between the tail feathers and the A-CANADA. The sparrow's front toe is also closer to the lower frameline than normal. Doe's anyone else have one like this?
Here's a side-by-side comparison of the two stamps. Is it an optical illusion or does the first example (with the white background) have a slightly bolder font both in the lettering "CANADA" and in the bird species information at the bottom of the stamp?
