Sadly overexposed the heron a bit but I caught the pose and symmetrical reflection.

Yes, for bird photography, where I want "truth" as well as "beauty", I'd share your suspicion of masks - playing with the histogram is doing little more than saying "I know better than the camera does how to globally assign brightness" which strikes me as entirely proper.
