A beautiful anhinga grooming its wing. It swims under the water and hunts for fish then sits on its perch to dry its wings in the sun. This is also known as the "snake bird" because it will occasionally peer its head above water and looks similar to a snake. It was called that by indifferent observers who failed to see that this actually a beautiful bird and not a snake. It's a perfect example of how opening your eyes reveals the truth and that sometimes things are not how they seem, but prejudices are too quick to occur.
