Great shot! Rare moment, nicely executed.

I would offer that you could probably do some heavy highlight recovery and restore a lot of color fidelity and tonality to the bird's beak and the washed out feathers. Would bring some punch to the photo, and enhance the effect of the water spray.

A little bit tight in the frame, but it's a very nice shot. I like it also.

Thank you! I will try your tips.

Envy those of you guys who have pictures of herons or egrets. Can't get close enough to these birds. Therefore, small birds in my posts American robin (spring is coming):
