I like this photo but it was a cloudy day - what can I do to make the photo pop a little more and the sky not look so washed out? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It's really not a very good photo to start with. I'm not knocking your photo based on your skill, but simply on the way the sky is on this day, the light, how close you are, no catch light in the eye of the bird, not as sharp as a wildlife photo can and should be etc....
But I've opened it up, used some basics in ACR, cropped it, and saved as a jpg to upload here. I've done nothing much other than crop and hit auto in ACR.
Actually, after posting my first attempt, I decided that the white balance is way off. It shouldn't be that purple or blue. So I took the white balance dropper and touched the white breast of the Tree Swallow and wala. Much better color.

#2 does look better. Hard to get as they were constantly landing/taking off so as soon as it sat I shot it. Appreciate the comments.

Tweaked it as below :-)
Mainly the white balance was off. It should be Sunlight or Shadow.
