The Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga), sometimes called the snakebird for how it swims, is a diving waterbird I photographed along the Tortuguero Canal in Costa Rica, wings still spread wide from drying after a swim. Its bright blue eye ring and shaggy dark crest only appear like this during breeding season.
At 9.25 by 7.75 inches, the bird's head and that unmistakable blue eye stay the clear focal point, with just enough wing and feather texture to keep the scene alive. Smooth polyester and a quarter inch rubber base round out a size built for laptop desks.
About this Mouse Pad
About this Mouse Pad
The full wingspan that makes this photograph so striking on a large mat compresses naturally at 9.25 by 7.75 inches, keeping the bird's head, orange bill, and blue eye ring front and center against the bright green background.
The rubber base holds steady on the desk, and the polyester top keeps a mouse tracking smoothly.
Wetland birds like this rarely get much attention outside a field guide. This one earns a spot on an actual desk, sized at 9.25 by 7.75 inches for a laptop setup or a small office corner.
What you get:
- My own photograph of an Anhinga drying its wings, taken in Costa Rica
- Bright blue breeding season eye ring and long orange bill
- Compact 9.25 by 7.75 inches, sized for laptop desks and small workspaces
- Smooth polyester top with a quarter inch non slip rubber base
- Rounded corners for a clean, finished look
- A distinctive gift for birdwatchers, wildlife photographers, and Costa Rica travelers
Notes on the Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga):
- Also called the snakebird or water turkey, for its swimming style and broad tail
- Lacks fully waterproof feathers, which helps it dive but requires drying time afterward
- The bright blue eye ring appears only on males during breeding season
