The image is a photograph of a red-breasted sapsucker perched on the side of a tree trunk. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image and its head is turned slightly to the left. It has a black and white striped body with a red crest on its head. Its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take a bite out of the bark. The tree trunk is brown and has a rough texture. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a wooded area with green foliage.
