Not a bad set of pictures. I like the wing position in the first shot but maybe it would be a bit better if you backed off on the saturation a bit. I think I would probably also crop it a bit to exclude some of the space above and below the bird. It looks like you also may have clipped the highlights a bit. White birds are tough.

The second shot (night heron) looks a bit over-exposed to me and has a large blow-out on the bird. I think I would like the bird a bit lower in the frame but I think the crop/comp is otherwise pretty good.

The third one (egrets) has the flying bird in a nice position but maybe a bit too close to the edge of the frame for me. I like the colors in the background (red and green grass) but I find the picture to be a bit busy. Maybe some cropping could help?

The last shot is my favorite. I like how it shows the heron in hunting position and the composition is nice. It looks like the highlights are a bit hot again though.
