The image is a photograph of a bird perched on a thin branch. The bird is a male house finch, with a red head and a brown body and wings. It is facing towards the right side of the image, with its beak slightly open and its eyes focused on something in the distance. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a desert-like landscape with a clear blue sky. The branch it is perched on is green and has a pointed tip.
