The image shows a red-breasted sapsucker perched on the side of a tree trunk. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image and its head is turned slightly to the left. It has a black and white striped body with a red head and wings. Its beak is slightly open and its eyes are focused on something in the distance. The tree trunk is covered in pine needles and the background is blurred, but it appears to be a snowy forest.
