A single Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) stands on a patch of green grass in Raanana, Israel. The bird is oriented towards the left, displaying light tan plumage on its body, brown on its back and wings, and a distinct dark brown patch around its yellow eye. Its bill is pink with a dark tip, and its webbed feet are pink, with one foot slightly lifted. In the upper left background, a light gray metal pole with a concrete base is anchored in the ground, casting a shadow diagonally across the grass. A light-colored paved surface is visible along the top edge of the frame. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, creating defined shadows.
