The image is a photograph of a bird perched on a thin branch. The bird appears to be a hawk, as it is facing towards the right side of the image. It has a brown body with white and black markings on its wings and tail. Its head is turned slightly to the left, and its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take flight. The branch it is perched on is bare, with no leaves or other vegetation visible. The background is a clear blue sky.
