Lovely composition, I feel a slight curves adjustment holding highlights and lifting the darks slightly will reduce contrast a little, revealing some extra detail in the dark plumage and also the dark blue wont look quite so contrasting against the white plumage.
You know a member of the HAP will be here shortly don't you! We'll here I am. I love the perch, grasses, comp, ocean BG. Perhaps a touch dark on the midtones. Very lovely overall.

Reason: forgot a word!
Since I'm not a member of the HAP I won't say anything about it , I like the composition and agree about reducing the contrast a little. Thank you for sharing Bill.
Yes, the bird is under arrest. That said, I do have a few looking out at the ocean images that I like. All in all, well done. SH and EXP spot on.

I love the deep blues and the rock perch with the grass. I think just move the crop ever so slightly so less on the right more on the left could help, but not a big deal. Nice exposure. TFS
