Product Details
Our luxuriously soft blankets are available in two different sizes and feature incredible artwork on the top surface. The bottom surface is white. Our 100% polyester blankets are available in two different styles: plush fleece and sherpa fleece. Plush fleece blankets are soft and fluffy on both sides, whereas sherpa blankets are smooth like a soft sweater on the artwork side (i.e. shorter threads) which provides for a sharper image. Looking for a recommendation? Go with a 60" x 80" plush fleece blanket. It's soft and luxurious on both sides... the artwork looks incredible... and the size is just right for everyone.

The name, Anhinga, derives from the aboriginal Tupi language of Brazil and apparently means “snake bird”, also a colloquial English name that references the very snake-like appearance of the head and neck showing above water. Their long tail is thought by some to resemble the tail of a turkey, giving the species another colloquial name, water turkey. Their plumage, like that of cormorants, is not particularly waterproof and they often swim with their bodies just below the surface, so only the narrow head and long, superficially serpentine neck show above the surface. They also have denser bones than most birds, lack external nostrils and have all four toes joined by webbing. These features all facilitate underwater swimming. After swimming, they, also like cormorants, will of...
Renowned Canadian bird artist, writer, naturalist, and conservationist, Barry Kent MacKay has “always been an admirer of birds, anxious to see them, paint them, and care for them.” Barry’s biological and ecological accuracy has put him in demand for commissions, to illustrate books, scientific journals and various print and digital media. He has painted birds and other wildlife from around the world, often life size, working in oils, watercolours, and acrylics. He prefers to sell original art, and keeps prices low. “Actual, original art should be affordable for middle class buyers,” he says. “I avoid having to depend on selling reproductions so that the market does not dictate what I paint, which can often be little-known...

Very nice Barry! I saw Anhingas in Florida a few years ago and was struck by their similarities to Cormorants.
