Harsh light plus off-angled light are a recipe for making your life difficult.... You needed to move about 90 degrees to your left.
Nice that you got so close to a cool bird but the whites are hot and the shadowed areas too dark....

I am jealous that you got a shot. I had a pair in the tree over my blind this morning and couldn't ever get a clear view. Agree with Artie about the harsh light, would fill flash help? Also the background is very noisy. The D 90 should handle the high ISO with less noise. Did you use any noise reduction?
Less exposure plus lots of flash can help in situations like this.

CM, Sun angle rules, especially when the light is harsh. You need to move far left and a bit forward until your shadow pointed at the bird. Then you would have had a chance to make a decent image in spite of the harsh light. If you could have moved to sun angle and gotten close you could have created a nice vertical.
