This was shot with a Nikon D90
240mm 1/1250 F5.6
Although I love the way you see the pine needles reflected in the open wing I don't like all those spots on the bottom of the picture, what are those and how could I have eliminated them

Are you referring to the light spots? If so, I believe it is called bokeh. An easy way to eliminate bokeh is to face in the opposite direction of the light source (sun shining through tree branches.. etc.)... or perhaps use a smaller aperture to have the scene more in focus?
 
Nothing unusual in the spots, they're usually caused by some out of focus highlight in the background not seen at the time of taking the photo, one way to elimate them is using the clone tool in PS and carefully blend them into the background.
