I don't know anything about birding, so forgive me if the point of this photo is that the birds are extremely rare but photographically speaking wouldn't a tighter crop improve the shot? And perhaps little tweaks to levels, contrast and saturation.

The crop is much better, although now a little too tight for comfort. And I think the colour and contrast is much better, but perhaps a little heavy now.
