The image shows several long-tailed ducks. Two ducks are perched on rocks above the water, while three ducklings and one duck are swimming in the water. The ducks have a palette of browns, whites, and black with long tails. The largest duck stands on the left rock, angled towards the viewer, while the other adult duck is on the right rock. In the water below, one duck is swimming close to the center, followed by three ducklings. The background shows a calm sea and a pale sky.
