The image is a photograph of a bird standing on a log by the water. The bird appears to be a common merganser, with a grey body and a brown head and neck. It has a long, pointed beak and a pointed crest on its head. The log is covered in moss and lichen, and there is a tree trunk on the right side of the image. The background is blurred, but it seems to be an outdoor setting with a body of water visible in the distance.
