Sometimes birds will even hold their wings outstretched, as if they are trying to dry them. This is something known as canopy feeding and casts a larger, more realistic tree shadow. It is one of over 30 types of feeding behaviors that ornithologists have observed in waders. One tropical species, the black heron, takes the technique to the extreme by folding its wings completely over its head like an umbrella while it hunches down and waits for fishes.

Thanks for your comments; however, according to persons at the University of Florida, birds of this sort do shade the waters for the purpose of better visibility. A moment after this shot was taken, the bird snatched his prey.
Thanks again, Bob

Actually, the bird is pruning itself. I don't beleive your supposition is correct that the bird is trying to reduce glare. These birds can see through any water, indeed, I have seen many herons fishing in water covered with duckweed, when it was impossible for me (human) to even see below the surface.
Another example...
