Two birds are perched on a tree branch: a male Boat-tailed Grackle with iridescent blue and black plumage, and a female bird. The setting includes natural brown, blue, green, and black colors with patches of white and hints of olive on the leaves. The male bird is located in the lower left corner with its tail extending to the right, while the female bird is positioned slightly above and to the right amid green leaves and small acorns.
