The image shows two birds perched on white wooden posts near the ocean. The birds are facing towards the right side of the image and appear to be looking towards the left side. They are both facing the same direction, with their wings slightly spread out and their beaks slightly open. The bird on the left has a dark brown body with a white crest on its head and neck, while the one on the right has a lighter brown body and neck. Both birds have a distinctive pattern of black and white feathers on their wings and tail feathers. The background is a clear blue sky and the ocean can be seen in the distance.
