The image shows a hooded merganser male swimming in the water, its black and white feathers glistening in the sunlight. Its hooded head is a distinctive feature of the bird, with a white patch on its forehead and a black beak. Its wings are spread out as it gracefully glides through the water's surface, creating ripples that spread out around it.
