Perched sideways on a tree trunk in Costa Rica, this Black-cheeked Woodpecker, Melanerpes pucherani, tilts its head as if it just heard something behind the wall. Pale yellow face, dark cheek patch, barred wings, the pose alone makes the photograph worth a second look.
Deep forest green fills most of the frame, leaving the bird room to feel discovered rather than staged. The design is printed on a soft polyester surface with a non slip backing in my Henniker, New Hampshire studio, built to hold its color through years of daily mouse and keyboard use.
About This Desk Mat
About This Desk Mat
Most of this desk mat is just quiet forest green, which is exactly what makes the woodpecker pop when your eye lands on it. The bark texture on the right edge grounds the scene without competing with the bird's cheeky expression.
It works well anywhere that could use a little personality without visual noise, a home office, a birding room, a photography studio, a desk that's tired of staring at nothing.
What you get:
- Original wildlife photograph of a Black-cheeked Woodpecker by Linda Nee
- Deep forest green and bark gray tones with a bold graphic composition
- A playful, expressive desk mat for birders and tropical wildlife fans
- Smooth polyester surface with secure non slip backing
- A distinctive gift for Costa Rica travelers and woodpecker collectors
A few things about the Black-cheeked Woodpecker (Melanerpes pucherani):
- Found in wooded edges and lowland forests across parts of Central America, including Costa Rica
- Named for the bold dark cheek patch that contrasts against its pale head
- Uses its stiff tail feathers and strong feet to brace against trunks while foraging
