I photographed these at the lake at BTA. The big guy sat and posed on the rock for hours.
Not great pics. They were taken with my P&S.

The big guy looks like an anhinga to me. These birds do not have oil glands to waterproof their feathers, so, after a dive, they "hang themselves out to dry". They can stay in that pose for a very long time. I don't know what the smaller bird is.

Top photo looks like Neotropic Cormorant. [Look on Google "Arizona Cormorant."]

to my eye looks similar to a Cormorant, though more astute birders can be more definitive
