I'm forever blowing bubbles.

This horned grebe was in slow down mode after dashing across the water. Not sure if I like the bow wave or the bubbles more. Long Point Provincial Park, April 2, 2023. Podiceps auritus A sleeping or resting Horned Grebe puts its neck on its back with its head off to one side and facing forward. It keeps one foot tucked up under a wing and uses the other one to maneuver in the water. Having one foot up under a wing makes it float with one "high" side and one "low" side. source - allaboutbirds-org.
