I like the composition of this, and around my way at least it is unusual to see them in a tree. The picture does not seem to be critically sharp. I think you may need to think about carrying a tripod instead of a monopod. More weight I know, but hopefully you will find a worthwhile difference.

A great pose and nice to see it in the open.... looking at the techs etc I am puzzled as to the image quality and noise in the bg... perhaps more than a 'slight crop'? Maybe go smaller in the frame which may help....

I do like the composition and pose although I agree with the other comments about the detail.
