Male Anhinga, other known as "snakebird" because of its habit of sometimes swimming with just its head showing, like here. You can tell easily because of its real sharp, long, yellow beak. 
Good timber does not grow with ease:
The stronger wind, the stronger trees.
The further sky, the greater length,
The more the storm, the more their strength.
