The image shows a bird in mid-flight over the ocean. The bird is a reddish-brown heron with a long neck and a long beak. It is in the center of the image, with its wings spread wide and its legs stretched out in front of it. The heron appears to be in the process of landing or taking off. The ocean below is a light blue color with small waves crashing onto the shore. The sky is overcast and the water is choppy, suggesting that the photo was taken during the day.
