This black and white photograph represents a coastal landscape. The coast stretches across the bottom right of the image and is rocky, with a dead tree in the center. A body of water stretches beyond the coast, and distant mountains can be seen. The top third of the image is sky.
In a landscape of water, rocks, and thick foliage, two herons attempt to catch a moth that flies above them. The herons are characterized by their brown, black, and white feathered bodies with yellow feathers around their eyes, dark green feathers on their heads, and long, pointed beaks. The heron on the left is also characterized by his body shape with an elongated neck and large talons.
