The image shows a hooded merganser duck in mid-flight over a body of water. The duck is facing towards the right side of the image, with its wings spread wide and its head turned towards the left side. It has a black and white head and neck, with a distinctive hooded crest on its head. The body of the duck is a mix of brown and white feathers, and its wings are spread wide as it soars through the air. The water is a greenish-brown color, and there are small ripples visible on the surface. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a wooded area with trees and foliage.
