Most people look up when someone exclaims, "Look at that bird!" If they are talking about a Cormorant though, you might have to look down beneath the water to see the bird they refer to.

Double-crested Cormorants plunge their head into the water and vanish beneath it. They are diving birds. I also see Anhinga swim this way.

Then, sometimes a surprising distance away, their head will pop back out of the water.

Double-crested Cormorants are a frequent sight perched, wings spread, to dry on the bird shaped sprinkler pipe floats in South Florida water retention ponds.

I really like their blue eyes, but I seldom get close enough to get a good look at them.
