The image shows two ducks swimming in a body of water. The duck on the left is a hooded merganser, with a distinctive black and white head and neck, and a brown body with a white patch on its chest. It has a black beak and feet, and its wings are spread out as if it is about to take flight. On the right is a smaller duck, also known as a mergansers, with its head turned to the side. Both ducks are facing towards the right side of the image. The water is calm and still, with small ripples visible on the surface.
