The image shows two birds in a body of water. The bird on the left is a red-necked grebe, with its wings spread wide and its beak open as if it is about to take flight. It has a brown and white plumage with a black head and neck, and a white patch on its chest. On the right is a smaller bird with a gray and white body and a brown head. Both birds are swimming in the water and there are reeds visible in the background. The water appears to be calm and still.
