The image is a photograph of a common merganser duck swimming in a body of water. The duck is facing towards the right side of the image and its body is partially submerged in the water. It has a black head and neck, with a red beak and a white chest. Its wings are slightly spread out and its tail feathers are slightly rippled. The water is calm and still, with small ripples visible on the surface. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a wooded area with trees and other vegetation.
