Why do birds do this one legged thing in the water?

I have heard two reasons - one is that as the water is below body temperature, then it reduces heat loss, and the other is that a single leg is more like to be mistaken as a stick than as a predator.
Of course, it's different for ducks - if they didn't stand on that one leg, they'd be a sitting duck...
