A very sharp, detailed close-up. Such a shame he wasn't just a few feet further away so you could have got the tail in too. Still a well captured moment though.
Perhaps cropping a little off the bottom and cropping from the right to loose all the space behind the bird would be worth trying.

Brill sharpness and detail in the eye and face, well grabbed. Might be temped to blur/clone the OOF line above its head

Yes -very nice. Seeing as so much of the bird is missing I'd go for a tight head and shoulder crop.
Just my opinion.

Well taken opportunity and I agree with John, would like to see what a head and shoulder crop would look like.
