The image is a photograph of a yellow-crowned night heron standing on a rocky shore. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image, with its head turned slightly to the left. It has a long, pointed beak and a grey body with black and white stripes on its wings and legs. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a body of water, possibly a lake or a river. The sky is overcast and the ground is covered in small rocks and pebbles.
