The Black-cheeked Woodpecker (Melanerpes pucherani) is a tropical woodpecker I photographed clinging to a tree trunk in Costa Rica, its pale yellow head cocked at an angle like it just heard something behind the bark. Deep forest green and warm cream tones give the portrait a clean, graphic feel.
Green forest and textured bark meet cleanly at 9.25 by 7.75 inches of smooth polyester with a quarter inch rubber base, small enough for a laptop desk or a side table with no room to spare. This scene is mine, photographed in the field, not pulled from a design template.
About this Photo
About this Photo
Half the frame is deep forest green, the other half is bark texture, and the woodpecker sits right at the seam between them. That kind of clean split reads well even at 9.25 by 7.75 inches, instead of turning into a blur of color.
The polyester top keeps a mouse gliding smoothly, and the rubber base does not budge once it's set down.
Most bird themed desk decor shows a generic cardinal or owl. This one is an actual Black-cheeked Woodpecker from Costa Rica, sized at 9.25 by 7.75 inches for a laptop desk or a small side table.
What you get:
- My own photograph of a Black-cheeked Woodpecker, taken in Costa Rica
- Pale yellow head and dark cheek patch set against deep forest green
- 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, Costa Rica travelers, and wildlife photographers
Notes on the Black-cheeked Woodpecker (Melanerpes pucherani):
- Ranges from southern Mexico through Central America into northern South America
- Forages for insects beneath tree bark using a strong bill and stiff tail feathers
- Also excavates its own nest holes in dead or decaying trees
