Lovely. I'd recommend pulling down the highlights and brightness of the first two to make them pop some more. You're losing detail in the white feathers.
Hope you don't mind, here's what I mean.

Beautiful birds and I second Rassie's recommendation to pull the highlights or overall exposure down a bit, you probably could have shot with about -2/3 stops of exposure compensation to get those grayer rocks gray and to help with the brighter feathers but might have needed some shadow pulling or a bit of dodging in post to bring out the facial detail if you'd done that.

Great shots of a very good looking bird. I love the takeoff shot, great action.

Waaooo that`s a real big difference and a better overall image for sure with the edited version @Rassie .. I`d like to see the edit on the 2nd shot too, it brings out so much detail on the rocks ..

@santiago Well done on those captures , love the take off shot..
