The image shows a black bird perched on a wooden post by the water. The bird appears to be a cormorant, with a long, pointed beak and a long neck. It is facing towards the right side of the image, with its wings slightly spread out and its legs slightly bent at the knees. The post is made of wood and is located near a body of water, with tall grasses in the background. The water is calm and still, reflecting the sky above.
