The image shows a bird perched on a tree branch with its wings spread wide. The bird appears to be a cormorant, with a long, slender body and a pointed beak. It is facing towards the right side of the image, and its wings are spread wide, as if it is about to take flight. The tree branch is bare, with no leaves, and the background is a clear blue sky. The image is in black and white, giving it a monochromatic tone.
