The image shows a black-crowned night heron perched on a metal pole. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image and its head is turned slightly to the left. It has a long, pointed beak and a black crown on its head. The body of the bird is predominantly grey and white, with a hint of black on its wings and legs. Its feet are orange and its claws are visible. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a grassy field with a blue sky.
