The image is a photograph of a female Northern Cardinal perched on a thin branch. The bird is facing towards the right side of the image and its head is turned slightly to the left. It has a bright orange beak and a red crest on its head. The body of the bird is a light brown color with darker brown stripes on its wings and tail. The branch it is perched on is bare and has no leaves. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a wooded area with trees and foliage.
